My Saturday wine destination this week was Delaplane Cellars in Delaplane, Virginia. This is in the Piedmont, the foothills of the Shenandoah Appalachians. The winery is on a hill and is situated for the best view. People like the same view that grapes do. Their lovely wine tasting building is only a year old, and young vines adorn the hill, reflecting the rapid increase in Virginia wine development. Their "Cinq" five-variety red blend is particularly nice. These colored pencil and ink sketches were done in the wine hall in the early evening, while sipping Cinq and eating rustic home-baked bread.
