Thirteen wine club members showed they weren’t
superstitious when they attended the Friday the 13th
wine tasting at the Cork & Fork Fine Wines & Foods in
Gainesville. The theme of the evening was New World
Wines and they were superb with selections from
Australia, Argentina and California.
Cork & Fork owners Anna & Dominique made this a
special event for the members, answering questions about
the different wines and serving an exquisite array of
light fare.
Of course, after the tasting, attendees were able to
purchase some of the wines that especially appealed to
them. It was a great evening, Friday the 13th
notwithstanding.
In early December, 20 members were provided an
excellent tour of The Winery at La Grange, the first
and only winery in Prince William County. Recently opened to the
public, La Grange boasts a 1790s manor house and a new
vineyard with over 5,000 vines.
This tour included a wine tasting as members strolled
around the grounds. The site tour continued with
more wine and we then relaxed on the porch with more
wine and food.
