The Winery at La Grange

January 30th, 2008 · No Comments

A nice place to relax and savor the beauty on a Sunday afternoon. Actually, any day will work. You can even bring your laptop as there is a wireless internet access at this 18th century Manor House which is only 30 miles from metro Washington D.C.

Chris Pearmund creates artisinal wines combining the best of old world and new. The Fletcher’s Chardonnay is an award winning favorite with notes of vanilla and green apple. If you like red wine, try the Cabernet Franc and Meritage. The climate and terrain of Virginia produce excellent Cabernet Franc with characteristics of herbaceousness, black pepper and spice. For Cabernet Franc lovers, you may want to check out Three Fox Vineyards and Barboursville Vineyards.
