About Me

Hi! I'm Christina, and I am a recent graduate from Virginia Tech! I'm in Northern VA now pursuing a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I'd like to continue what I learned from the Geography of Wine class I took in Spring of 2012, so I'll be posting about different wines and wine events. I would be very grateful for suggestions, and I'm open to expanding my posts to beer and liquor as well!

James River Cellars 2010 Vidal


Name: James River Cellars 2010 Vidal

Variety: Vidal Blanc
Region: Central Virginia
Country: United States
Year: 2010
Price: $17
Shop Review: GOLD MEDAL WINNER!  Peach and grapefruit aromas with a touch of sweetness.
My Review: This Vidal Blanc was pale gold in color with strong citrus (specifically lemon and grapefruit) aromas.  It had tart grapefruit flavors and was very light tasting.

The Chardonel grape is a hybrid grape from the French American hybrid Seyval and the classic vitis vinifera Chardonnay.  This grape was crossed by the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station at Cornell.
