Special Virginia Winery Tasting:
Tracey Love from Blenheim Vineyards

Dave Matthews established Blenheim Vineyards in 2000, and it remains family owned to this day. General Manager and winemaker Kristy Harmon has been there since 2008, making the wine and overseeing grape production and just about anything else that comes her way. They grow and work with mostly French grape varieties — Chardonnay, Viognier, Roussanne, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. (They also grow Grüner Veltliner and Albariño, and they make a nice Rkatsiteli from Horton Vineyards fruit.)

From their handful of sites, Blenheim focuses on growing healthy fruit so that they can be minimalistic in the cellar. Nothing stays in barrel for more than a year, with the goal being to make fruit forward, approachable wines that are drinkable when young.

We’ve been fans of Blenheim since their opening. This Wednesday, you have a chance to see the reason for our dedication. Come join guest pourer Tracey Love, Director of Sales, Event, and Marketing at Blenheim Vineyards as we get vocal about one of our favorite locals.
