Wysteria Vinyards

The emerging Va. wine market just got a little stronger when Wysteria vinyard held its open house and wine tasting yesterday, it was quite a showing, and even more impressive for me when the host and hostess were Sue and Mousa. The viyard is beautifull with 2 varieties of grapes in various stages of maturity. The home and property were also quite impressive, obviously the product of hard work and dedication on their part. What impressed me most though was the wine. I'm not a big wine drinker but I know what I like and their red was a cabernet sauignon that was really good, the white was also great. A few family noteables in attendance were Uncle Joe with whom I had a great visit, I hav't seen him in some time so it was nice to sort of catch up. Also Ken and Sharon were there it was great to see them too they always bring a little life to a gathering. Ken seemed to surprise a few people when he volunteered to stomp grages then later asked if rolling over them would suffice. It was a beautifull day for an outdoor event like that and made even nicer by having a chance to visit with family. The vinyard is to young for much of a harvest this year but they are hopefull for next year, they know what to do with the grapes so I am predicting a big success.
