OK so Chateau O’Brian make a decent tannat. For my taste a tannat from Tablas Creek, Paso Robles is by far the best. Not to mention a Tanat from the Bouza vineyard in Uruguy or a Mediran Tanat from Chateau Montus. Now then, Chrysalis’ recent release of its tannat blended with a touch of Viogne is a sheer delight.

There’s a decent amount there, but the majority of them are in the north, in a swath from northwest to southeast of D.C. The ones I visited this past weekend were all in that area. And why be ashamed? How many Virginia people have been to Atlanta’s wineries? Not I!

for being (relatively) close, I’m ashamed I haven’t been to any Virginia wineries. I assume they’re mostly concentrated in the western, more mountainous part of the state?
