The Tasting Room at Reston Town Center
I've written about the Boxwood Tasting Room in Middleburg. Now Boxwood has opened Tasting Rooms in Reston Town Center and in Chevy Chase.
I recently visited the one in Reston Town Center and had a great experience. The Tasting Room has a modern feel; it is sparsely decorated with lots of gray and black. I think this style works much better in Reston Town Center then it does in Middleburg. Middleburg tends to focus on the old and the cozy, so the Tasting Room there is slightly jarring in its contrast to the rest of the town.
The wine selection was great and they seem to have expanded from offering just the wines of Stephane Derenoncourt to offer a wide variety of Bordeaux wines. In fact, I was very excited to see that they are offering a Henri Lurton (owner of Brane Cantenac) wine!
They also offer light faire, such as olives and almonds and, of course, and excellent selection of cheeses.

I have a similar wine place near me... very cool! I like how there is such a great selection to purchase by the pour. The only downside that I see is that this particular wine shop charges a corking fee if you purchase a bottle. If I was bringing in my own bottle, I wouldn't mind paying this but for purchases made in the shop, this seems a little odd... especially considering the fact that their prices aren't rock bottom.
Cheers!
I keep saying I'm going to pop in for a sample of Boxwood's wines, but always run out of time (I usually kill time at the Reston Town Center before heading to Dulles). Any favorites from Boxwood?
