Review # 1 was written on 2016-11-03 00:00:00 Ali Taherinejad This is a very handy, approachable and comprehensive guide. If I had one request, I would like the photos to be of the tasting rooms rather than of the owners. This would be a very effective visual reference and memory guide for wine tourers.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-06-15 00:00:00 Brian Brodoski I started this book when I first moved to the east coast 10 years ago. I got distracted and didn't make much progress. On the 10th year of my arrival I'm glad I finally finished it. After reading the first few chapters in 2010 I sought out Chrysalis Winery. It became a staple of my Virginia winery visits, bringing friends and dates here over the years, and almost getting married here in 2016 (we chose another winery that had more/better bathrooms haha). Now, after finally reading the rest of the book, I'm shocked to find out some absolutely amazing facts I never knew, including about the Norton grape, the owner Jenni who I've had the pleasure of meeting a couple of times, and the history of wine in Virginia. The book, while it starts and ends as a story about Virginia wine, very much becomes a history of wine in all of America. Highly recommend the read, but make sure you pick up a few bottles of Chrysalis Norton (and maybe the amazing 2008 Tannat) to accompany you along the journey.
