We had a fun day yesterday visiting several Virginia wineries. After tasting about 27 small samplings of wines, however, there was only one we thought worthy of buying a bottle. But we were present for a blessing by a priest and two nuns of one winery's grape harvest. That was interesting.Most of the wineries we came across have been in business less than 10 years. I am sure with continued practice, the wines will improve.
The Virginia countryside is lush and beautiful. At this time of year, the dogwoods have burst out in bloom. I wish I had gotten a photo of the wild wisteria's in bloom along the highway. They are almost predatory to other trees, growing up through their branches and choking them. But they were blooming between pine boughs perhaps trying to justify their presence there.

I always love the shots you take when you are on vacation and especially in Virginia, what a picturesque place and a photogenic family, as as a narrator, you are a pro! Am glad to see that you are having such a wonderful time, and since spring seems to have stalled and all it does is rain, you aren't missing a thing!
