Fox Meadow Cabernet Franc
Once part of the century-old Freezeland Orchard in Linden, near I-66 in Northern Virginia, Fox Meadow Winery was founded by husband-and-wife pair Dan and Cheryl Mortland. Their goal was to produce handcrafted boutique wines. Like the best marriage or romance, Fox Meadow’s Cabernet Franc is “a wine for all times that pleases without demanding much.” It’s a Bordeaux-style wine from the Virginia mountains that’s perfect for toasting your love.
Castle Glen Estates Merlot
From discovering the world of wine at their local wine shop to founding their own farm winery, Castle Glen Winery, on the historic Doswell estate, Ed and Pamela Jean Cowdrey love to share their adventure of creating “wine magic” with their customers. Their vibrant Merlot is aged in French and American oak for 14 months before blending and bottling. With notes of raspberry and vanilla, it’s the perfect accompaniment to a delicious pasta dinner with your love!
Cross Keys Vineyards Red Joy
The old Cross Keys Tavern near Mount Crawford was and remains the inspiration for Cross Keys Vineyards. The owners of this picturesque vineyard, winery and tasting room hope their winery can offer the same relaxation and location as a gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. Their Joy Red is a well-balanced, barrel-aged wine that’s fresh, with a sweet finish and a touch of acidity. It’s a great choice to share by the fireplace with your love.
Trump SP Blanc de Blanc
Located near Charlottesville, Trump Winery prides itself on creating award-winning sparkling, white and red wines. It is Virginia’s largest vineyard and the largest vinifera vineyard on the East Coast. A winner of the Sparkling Sweepstake Award from the San Francisco Chronicle, as well as a Gold Award from the Virginia Governor’s Cup, Trump Sparkling Blanc de Blanc is light yet complex, with aromas of green apple and citrus. Enjoy it with your sweetheart!
