Awesome review and education… Highlighting these Vineyards will save me hours and hours per my usual annual M/O of going from garage “Vineyard” to garage Vineyard without a clue of what i am doing (vineyardal aboriginal) … I can also utilize your review as a comparison / contrast… Great site,thanks for all the hard work… i will tell all my friends to check it out… What is your opinion of Barboursville Vineyards? I enjoyed the Cab Franc and a fusion they called Octagon… The estate fosters an awesome atmosphere which seemed to promote “happy grapes ” along with the on site historical ruins, an outstanding wine pairing dinner and a lodge (you can actually lodge in the Servants Quarters circa 1790)… so that after the wine pairing dinner you can stagger over to the servants quarters and pass out…. http://www.barboursvillewine.net/winery/
