Sister to one of our favorite wineries Mediterranean Cellars, Molon Lave has a much larger and commercial feel, with the perks of a small lake, rolling grounds and event space. The wines are different but still fall in the range of Greek-style offerings. – – Here’s part two of our getaway weekend (read part 1 here)! I shared the first post this past weekend because we had such a good time I couldn’t keep it in! And so many people have asked us details on the place I thought it a good idea to elaborate and share the link! Head…

Continue ReadingPotomac Point Winery is down south of NoVA, rather than west like a lot of other wineries we frequent. We were actually looking at it as a possible wedding venue, though jury’s out if it’ll make the cut! It’s a gorgeous property, and not too bad to find. We’ll kick off the review with brunch: the food was delicious! Tyler and I were both starving after our wedding venue tour, so that probably added a few points in their favor. But the food we had was delicious! I went with a grilled chicken, pesto, and sweet pepper flatbread. It was…

This is part two of the Cooper’s Hawk Winery and Restaurant review, focusing on the winery! Read part one here. There was just too much to throw into one post so I wanted to separate out the two to do them each justice. When you first walk into the Ashburn, VA location, you walk into the winery. There’s some cute novelty wine items in the front, including some entertaining wine pourers featuring a variety of animals, and also some zombies. All of the stoppers pour from the subjects mouths are are quite festive. They use their pourers at the bar,…

Here it is! I know I’ve been promising this post forever, back from when T’s parents came to visit and we stopped by quattro goomba winery (read the review), and america eats tavern (read the review). Mediterranean Cellars is really one of our favorite wineries. I’ve discovered a love of wineries through a friend that I went to college with, R. He works at The Winery at La Grange out in Haymarket where he grew up, and he’s taken us around to some of his favorite other wineries in the area over the three years I’ve been in Virginia. Mediterranean Cellars is definitely a…

Quattro Goomba’s Winery was the second stop on our day out with T’s parents a few weekends ago. The first being Mediterranean Cellars-tune in next friday for my review of it! T and I had visited Quattro Goomba’s another time earlier, for DC SIR’s anniversary party. It was a nice winery, made especially nice by all the shiba inus roaming around! But this time it was so hot, I was sweating through my clothes! Quattro Goomba’s actually has both a winery and a brewery, although I have yet to actually try the brewery. As if that wasn’t enough, they even have a restaurant!…

Yesterday was an amazing summer day! Beautiful outside, and definitely hot, but not so horrible in the shade. Definitely would have needed some sunscreen if we didn’t camp out at some nice picnic benches at great shoals winery! I’ve wanted to try out this winery for a while since it’s pretty much smack between where I live and Baltimore, where we have a number of friends! However today was so gorgeous and we were in the area anyway shopping for fabric for my bridesmaid dress (J’s wedding is only 3 months away!!! It’s so close!), so groupon in hand, we trekked…
