Absolutely great to have Brian back – his enthusiasm is contagious! I too have followed VA wines for many years since my college days at W&L and UVA. Great strides have been made but often what holds me back is the price or qpr of some of the wines. For too long many seemed way overpriced relevant to quality and especially compared to great value wines from France. There are exceptions of course and Linden is one winery that IMHO does provide an appropriate price for the quality of its wines.

With all due respect to the panel participants and their very interesting discussion, the best part of this show was hearing Brian, sounding strong and positive. It definitely made my day.

Brian, welcome back. Living in Virginia and being acquainted with members of your panel not to mention following Virginia wineries “from the start,” it is wonderful to see these guys and Virginia wines get some excellent exposure. Excellent podcast!

Great piece on Virginia wines! I’ve been following VA wines for almost 25 years and the industry has come a LONG way. Many of the wines produced here are now top notch and worthy of note. Michael, Jim, and Tony have added a lot to the growth and quality in the industry. I now have a number of favorite VA wines that have surpassed some of my old faves from CA and Europe. Also of note, as was mentioned at the end of the show, is the relaxing and jovial environment that can be experienced at many VA wineries. They are truly a destination for not only great wine, but a most enjoyable experience as well. Thanks for bringing VA wines to light!

hey really loved this one guys, I live in Charlottesville so it was cool hearing more from people in this area. Especially Michael Shaps, who makes probably the best Norton wine I’ve ever had.
