How about those 2005 Virginia Whites ?



Q: Is the jury still out on those 2005 Virginia White wines?

A: Not!


The 2005 Harvest was predicted by insiders, viticulturist, winemakers and owners alike to be an exceptional year for Virginia white wines. Factors such as overall climate, better than average fruit and a labor of love for winemaking fueled a bright forecast for the 2005 white wines.

Now that we have whisked into August of 2006, many of those young, refreshing and fruity white wines have been tasted by we the consumer.

In my personal notes I have enjoyed many delicious and refreshing 2005 Virginia white wines including, but not limited to, the following:
