Blue Ridge Red

Many Virginia wineries are situated in the Shenandoah Valley and other places on or near the famous Blue Ridge mountains. The best vineyards are on slopes, and over the last decades pastures and tobacco farms have given way to vines. This little scene depicts the majestic skies of Virginia over those blue mountains and a vineyard on the hill. The glass contains Cabernet Franc wine, the official red grape of Virginia. This image will go into my second winery art book, "Virginia Under Vine."
