Last night we participated in the 57th #VaWineChat with several other people across the country and in Loudoun County. Visit Loudoun sponsored the tasting by providing us with the wines you see below. We followed along on Twitter as Frank Morgan from Drink What You Like interviewed most of the winemakers. Find out what we thought of the wines by the Tweets listed under each wine.

2015 White Spark from Casanel Vineyards and Winery

2017 Viognier from Walsh Family Wine

2016 Genesis from Lost Creek Winery and Vineyard

2015 Meritage from Breaux Vineyards

2015 Aldie Heights Cuvée

Warren put out some wonderful foods for us to enjoy while conducting the tasting. We enjoyed all the foods and the wines. We feel so lucky each time we are able to participate in these tastings. Thank you, Frank!

East Coast Wine Chat

On Sunday we had the opportunity to join in on the East Coast Wine Chat on Twitter. For this month’s chat we were tasting wines from Dr. Konstantin Frank located in the Finger Lakes region of New York. The three wines they sent us to taste were the 2013 Blanc de Blanc, the 2016 Eugenia Dry Riesling and the 2017 Rkatsiteli.

Frank Morgan of Drink What You Like led the discussion on Twitter. There were two members of the winemaking team at Dr. Frank who helped answer questions submitted by the tasters on Twitter. Below is what we tweeted about each of the wines.

 

 

 

 

We enjoyed all three wines and the Twitter discussion. It’s a great way to learn about new wines we may not be familiar with. We hope to visit Dr. Frank’s winery sometime in the future. If you happen to visit Dr. Frank’s winery, tell them Virginia Wine Time sent you!
