Debbie:  I didn't realize that there were that many wineries in your area!  Now this is a festival that is right up my alley!  Maybe a great time for a roadtrip?!

YES Debe! There are so many wineries within an hours drive. We stopped in at two today while we were at the lake. I think it's time to start that engine! Thanks for commenting.

Hi Debbie, How are you doing?  Hope all is well with you and yours there in Lynchburg! 

Hi Doreen! I'm great thanks, hope all is well in Arizona. Thanks for getting in touch!

This sounds like a fun and very affordable event. I have been to tastings that are easily $50-75 per person. I hope you get to go and have a lot of fun sampling some great wines!

Wow Rich, I'm living in a different world! Kate told me there are $30 cover charges at some of the clubs in Boston, $5 doesn't look so bad! We're planning to attend, it'll be a great day. Thanks for stopping by!
