>Wine Tasting

>Nothing to do with literature (not directly, anyway). Just got back from a wine tasting at King Family Vineyards in Crozet. Virginia has lots of wineries and I’ve been to a few of them, but I love taking people to KFV because the people are friendly, the facility is inviting and expansive, and Ellen King gives an outstanding tour. There were 25 people in our group, we tasted 6 wines and nearly everyone bought a few bottles. A very pleasant afternoon–even though the polo match was rained out . . .
