Why in the world would you go to a chain restaurant when there are top quality vineyards 30 minutes away? This suggestion would make sense in Kansas, not in Virginia. [/quote]

“Top quality” 🤣😂🤣😭

Ah yes, the world famous wine region of the American Mid-Atlantic.  Any winery here is strictly for ambience and that’s fine.[/quote]

Virginia is the oldest wine region in the US and routinely has wines appear on the Wine Enthusiast Top 100 list. Btw, as a fairly credentialed wine snob, this kind of comment is a dead giveaway that you're an amateur.[/quote]

Congratulations for being the first colony. I don’t need to flaunt my credentials when I can just drive to Napa. [/quote]

Given that this is a DC-based message board, I'm venturing a guess that most of us can't just "drive to Napa."  So we'll have to stick with the perfectly fine Virginia and Maryland options.[/quote]

I agree it's "perfectly fine" but let's not pretend like the DMV is some secret hot-spot for wine that only the truly cultured can appreciate.[/quote]

It's a not-so-secret hot spot for wine tourism.  California makes 85% of the wine in the US, so it's a behemoth. But there are respected wine regions beyond California and Virginia is one of them. So is Oregon and Washington. [/quote]
