Sorry about the dearth of postings, I have a whole bunch coming up :).

In case you hadn't heard, there is a new Virginia wine festival in town. The Virginia Wine Showcase is being held at the Dulles Expo Center in Chantilly Virginia on February 9th and 10th. They even offer gift cards, which is a neat idea.

They look like they have some interesting seminars -- including one on Bordeaux futures -- and most of the big Virginia wineries will be there. All this and it is indoors :).
