The self-selected group of winemakers did the culling themselves. First came a blind tasting - no bottles or labels, just a cup with a number on it. They discarded 50.
They tasted again and another 20 or so went by the wayside. Only the best remained on the table for the “first annual” (McCloud plans a yearly event) Best of Virginia.
Wine critic Dan Berger descended on the party from his West Coast lair and pronounced it good. The wines in Virginia today are “infinitely better than I expected,” Berger said. He judged Virginia wines in the 1989 Governor’s Cup and found them severely lacking - reedy reds, over-aggressive, sulfury whites.
“I never anticipated a group of wines of such incredible character.”
