Favorite Wine: Petit Verdot
A visit to Michael Shaps Wineworks is for the wines, not the show. Here you will experience the best that Virginia has to offer. Actually, you get to experience not only wines from 67 select, long term leased Virginia vineyard acres, but also French $$$ burgundy wines from Michael Shaps' owned French 'wineworks'. We are not typical white wine drinkers, but were blown away with Shaps' buttery, long finish 2016 Viognier ($28). What a surprise and we now know why Virginia may have chosen the Viognier for their state grape. Then again we were taken back by the available 2014 $35 Petit Verdot (82% Petit Verdot, 9% Malbec, 9% Merlot). What a highlight this visit was on our three days skirting nine out of Virginia's forty-six Petit Verdot wineries.
