Over the weekend I got 40 comments telling me how great my writing is. Oddly, all of them were also advertising Viagara knock-offs. Needless to say, they all got rejected. The sad thing is this blog gets, on average, 25 hits a day so even if I did let the comments through chances are, no one would see them :).

The wine club recently went to the The Winery at La Grange. The winery at La Grange is one of Chris Pearmund's properties and has been around for about a year.

This is the only winery in Prince William County. The tasting room and the grounds are impressive, it is obvious that a lot of thought went into the user experience.

Because the winery is so new none of the wines are made from grapes grown at La Grange, instead the grapes are imported from all over Virginia and made on site.

The winemaker's focus is definitely on the reds. While they do make a good Pinot Grigio, the wines that shine are their 2006 Cabernet Franc, the Claret (a blend of Graciano, Tannat and Touriga Nacional) -- which is a great everyday wine, and their Meritage is absolutely fantastic.
