    It would be great to get a tasting group rolling. I too am in Northern Virginia. I would love to have many of you out to Tarara Winery is Leesburg. My wife and I live there and I am the winemaker. We came here in June of last year. I would love to have you taste some of our new wines as well. Any interest? My wife and I also just love sipping and enjoying great wines from all over. It's not all work!

Next time you are going to be at Tarara let me know in advance so I can some and say hi. We could also do some barrel tastings or try some different wines. I am glad you enjoyed the wines. I only wish there was more Syrah, well, maybe soon. We decided to leave the 2008 eight in barrel for a long time, trying to take the Guigal LA LA wines as a benchmark and looking at about 36 months in oak. The 2009 is going into barrel today and we will likely have two levels, one like the one you tried and one with the extra time in barrel. Very exciting. I hope all is going well with you.  less

    Your status says your happy harvest is over. Don't you like 100 hour weeks and sleepless nights. How did your harvet season go this year? Definitely did not seem as easy as 2007, but some varieties still seem to be shining over in the Leesburg area.

We have been locked in our cave for the better part of the last 3 and a half months for harvest. Anyway, likelihood is the best one they will have at Total is the Cabernet Franc. If they have the 2007 Pinot Gris or Viognier (particularily the Viognier) then go with that. It will also be cheaper there then here probably. Anyway, to really try our best wines your best bet is to come and visit the winery. You can make a day a visiting wineries around here, there are some great ones. If you would like feel free to ask for me if you come here. My wife and I live on site. Hope this helps and I hope you enjoy some Tarara Wine. Thanks for the interest and I hope to meet you here in the future.  less

    Absolutely. I am very sorry I did not get a chance to spend much time with you. Normally Mondays are pretty good for me, however there are the three right after our festivals that are a little hectic. If you guys are are up for it maybe we could do some drinks in the next week or two, before harvest knocks me down for awhile?

    Talk to you soon,

I moved here from St. Catharines (in Canada, close to Toronto) the land of ice and hockey pucks. Anyway this is the first year I have not played hockey since I was a tiny one.

    I just invited RyE to come out as well. Maybe if we get organized we could have a little get together here at Tarara and I could show both of you around the site (tons here) and try the wines. My wife and I live here so anytime really works, weekends are always the most fun though. Two weekends from now (17-18th i believe) we have a festival here that should be a lot of fun and we are releasing our Pinot Gris and Viognier 07's which I think are awesome, and yes I am also biased. If you want let me know anytime you want to come out and I can sort out something, or as I said maybe RyE (Ryan), you and I (and signifcant others) could sit around and enjoy all sorts vino. Hope to here from you soon.  less
