Wine Tasting ROAD TRIP - Dec. 3rd


I will not be at TFM this weekend.  I am headed to Wine Styles in Montclair, VA to do a tasting.  If you're up for a short drive (after Fredericksburg, before Dale City) come sample.  I have a great line-up of wines  (see below) that Dave and I LOVE.

You can make a long day of it.  Stop at some VA wineries on the way.  Have dinner at the restaurant adjoining Wine Styles.  (Dave and I ate there for a wine tasting dinner.  The food was AMAZING.)

Jacuzzi Family Vineyards
Wine Styles - Montclair, VA
5:00 - 9:00 PM




When Dave and I went to California in 2014, our first stop was at Jacuzzi Family Vineyards.  It's the sister winery of Cline.  



Jacuzzi wine sampling

  • Pina Asolo Prosecco
  • Arneis
  • Primitivo
  • Rosso Di Sette Fratelli Merlot
  • Barbera
  • Sagrantino
  • Nebbiolo

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.  I'll be back to TFM Huguenot Dec. 10th, 17th and 24th.  Well ... that's the plan.
