Linden Vineyards

May 25, 2024.   Hello Readers!   It has been a while since we last posted.   We have been doing some traveling out of state, but we’re back!   We used a warm morning on the Memorial Day weekend to revisit one of the great Virginia wineries with some friends – Linden Vineyards - which is a few minutes south of the crossroads that constitute the town of Linden in western Fauquier County.   During our visit we spoke with owner and founder, Jim Law, and his son-in law, Alex Wilde, who poured for us.   Thanks to both of them for their time.   Much has been written about Linden over the years, and much by Jim Law himself.   A native of Ohio, Jim got a start in agriculture in the 1970’s when he served as an agricultural volunteer with the Peace Corps in Africa.   He loved working with fruit crops and on returning to the States, with wine and growing grapes.   His first experiences in the grape field came in Indiana but there was no mark...

Sunset Hills Vineyard

March 14, 2024.   Back in the winter of 2022, Kim and I with some of our companions spent a nice afternoon with the owner of 50 West Winery, Mike Canney.   We came away with a desire to visit someday the Mother winery – that is Sunset Hills Vineyard near Purcellville.   While 50 West aims at the younger clientele from its location right on Route 50 near Aldie, Sunset Hills is the more established, family-friendly farm locale.   Still, to discuss one is to discuss both as they are two sides of a single coin. Mike and Diane Canney first planted vines at Sunset Hills in 1999 on a 45-acre farm that included an 1870’s era working barn.   Sunset Hills was incorporated in 2006 and 50 West came along in 2017, both owned by the Canney’s.   Most of the grapes come from two farms in the Shenandoah, but more on them in a bit.   In July 2022, the Canney’s sold all of these properties to Chris and Katie Key.   We wanted to visit Sunset Hills under the new own...

Stone Tower Winery

November 9, 2024.   We met our tasting associate, C.J. Monroe, when we first walked up to the tasting bar in the Harvest Barn at Stone Tower Winery in Loudoun County.   He is a stocky 26-year old with sandy hair under his baseball cap, looking as if he would be at home in a brewery, but we were impressed by his wine knowledge and affability.   He managed to focus on us in spite of the heavy foot traffic that comes through Stone Tower on Saturdays.   CJ is a veteran winery worker, formerly at Optium Cellars doing a weekend gig.   He works for Loudoun County parks during the week.   From his father he gets a love of the Yankees (I guess I can forgive him) and the Jets, and German wine like Gewürztraminer.   That’s the one wine Stone Tower doesn’t offer.   Here are some basics about Stone Tower. The winery is one turn off of Route 15 south of Leesburg.   From there you climb Hogback Mountain to the winery along a gravel road.   The ...
