Purchase Ambien Online It saddens us to report that Oasis Winery is for sale. Award winning Oasis Vineyards has been producing fine Virginia wines for 30 years. 2007 is their 30th year. The 108 acre estate, 60 of which are vines, is now up for sale. We found out about the sale in the Sun Gazette newspaper. You can read the article here. We hope that whoever purchases the vineyard will continue to produce award winning wines.
