Wandering Through Virginia's Vineyards
from Walker Elliott Rowe of Virginia
There is a gold rush underway in Virginia. But the treasure under pursuit is not a precious metal. Rather, it is the grape. From Leesburg in the north down to Roanoke in the south, dot-com millionaires, celebrities, retired civil servants and apple farmers are turning fallow pastures and orchards into row after row of European fine wine grapes.
Mr. Rowe has spent the last three years visiting the vineyards in and around Virginia; attending seminars; planted his own Bordeaux, Rhône Valley, and American hybrid wine grapes; and worked for six months at area vineyards to understand the craft of the winegrower.
Walker Elliott Rowe is a freelance writer and hobby wine grape grower living in Rappahannock County, Virginia. His wine writings have appeared in Wine Business Monthly, Richmond Times Dispatch, Wine and Cuisine, The Virginia Wine Guide, The Virginia Wine Gazette, and The Rappahannock News.
