I was delighted to read that you toured LoCo wine country with Reston Limo and am sorry to read that the experience was not what it should have been...and could have been for you and your fellow writers and bloggers. To read that the wineries failed to impress was hard to swallow...excuse the pun. I’m dismayed that Reston Limo chose to take you to the wineries that they did with respect to the fact that you blog about wine. Although I support all wineries in Loudoun and want each to succeed, some of the wineries you visited have not yet had time to establish themselves and they are brand new to the industry (all within the past year). As for the established winery you visited, I’m not sure what happened there but I’ll forward this blog to Mr. Parker, the owner. For a true impression of what Loudoun has to offer, I urge you to visit those wineries that have been the cornerstone of DC's Wine Country and the leaders in the explosion of the global interest in Virginia wine. Loudoun is home to over 20 wineries and each one is unique in the wines they offer, appearance as well as their approach to hospitality. It would be unfair to assume that the 3 wineries you visited should be considered the “Standard” of what Loudoun has to offer. With that, I would welcome you to tour Loudoun County – DC’s Wine Country again. I’m happy to be your guide and can guarantee a great day of wine tasting with quality wines and warm hospitality. It’s an invitation – and a chance for me to win you over as a Loudoun County wine lover! Greetings from Breaux Vineyards in Loudoun County, VA!

On the bright side, the day ended with some great aged wines! As a matter of fact, I plan on hitting up that “Cult Case” tomorrow evening. Also, I plan on putting together a small blogger tour together this fall with a list of my personal favorites – will keep you in the loop and hope you can join. Have a great week.
