We want to make sure that you know about the upcoming Wine and Olive Oil Event to be held at the Mayflower Hotel on Wednesday, March 1. Marco Oreggia, most respected extra virgin olive oil journalist and Daniele Cernilli, highly acclaimed international wine critic on Italian wine, aka DoctorWine, are pleased to invite you to the walk around tasting for the launch of the guides in the U.S. Come enjoy wines from 50 producers and olive oils from olive oil producers from throughout Italy who have earned the highest scores in the 2017 guides. We have created a page that summarizes the event, trade and consumer hours, and registration. Olio2go (Fairfax), Fiola Mare (Georgetown), and Piazza Italian Market (Easton, MD) are scheduled to host additional events with olive oil producers during the week of 25 February – 3 March. You can see the full list of events with this link. Please feel free to share this with friends and colleagues!

We will be driving north from a little below Charlottesville back to the metro area next Saturday via Route 29. We always pass those signs with grapes on them highlighting nearby vineyards and this time we built in some time to stop and visit. Can anyone recommend any places within a reasonable detour off Route 29 that would be worth visiting? Obviously, having a tasting room would be a must. If they served food (light fare or full fare) it would be a plus, but it is not essential. I have been on the Virginia Wine site, but I am not finding it the most user-friendly, and it certainly is not as useful or credible as a personal recommendation from someone here. Any help would be appreciated. TIA.
