Wineries from all over Virginia brought a variety of wines to be sampled and purchased, including several outstanding fruit wines and a chocolate dessert wine.

Clouds and a light breeze made it chilly but not uncomfortable.

Troy from Williamsburg Winery shared a very special dessert wine, Vin Licorieux de Framboise, wine with raspberry
