Going wine tasting is a popular weekend activity, and in Virginia there are so many wineries to visit, each with their own unique trait or characteristic. These characteristics could be the wine, the ambiance of the winery’s location or even the vineyard's owners. I find that the Mediterranean Cellars vineyard in Warrenton, Virginia has all three, including a warmth and sense of family that surpass some of the other vineyards I visited. |

 Wine bars are the newest places to see and be seen. These establishments are gaining in popularity and, we predict, will become as commonplace as coffee shops, pubs and sports bars. You only need to walk around DC to see how popular wine bars have become: Urbana on P Street NW, Mendocino Grille and Wine Bar on M Street NW, Cork on 14th Street NW, and Veritas on Florida Avenue NW, to name just a few. The phenomenon stems from a growing interest in trying a variety of wines at one Story by Kumar Iyer sitting without the morning hangover. |

An informed sommelier in tow, this place has a Cruvinet wine dispensing and storage system that keeps twenty-four bottles at the correct temperature. The restaurant’s wine cellar is also temperature and humidity controlled with over 200 labels to choose from including a decent collection of organic wines. As with other wine bars, flights are offered in two-ounce pours. |

 A great addition to the Leesburg dining scene, the forty-seat restaurant on South King Street has been getting a lot of attention since opening their doors late last year. In going with the current trend of nodécor- is-the-new-décor, the Wine Kitchen sports bare bulbs and café-like blackboard menus. Wines are sold by tastings, glass or bottle and patrons are given a $10 discount when a bottle is purchased to go. We recommend the eclectic flights. |
