This weekend, May 8th and 9th, the Crozet Arts & Crafts Festival is goin’ down in Claudius Crozet Park. We will be one of six vineyards holding a tasting in the special wine tasting tent. So come on out, browse the work of over 100 artists, and get some wine samples from some of the best local wine-makers around!
Any info you could ever want about the event can be found here!
Cheers!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year for central Virginia locavores: farmers market season! Tomorrow, Thursday, April 29th, the Earlysville Farmers Market’s kicks off its 2010 run, and Well Hung Vineyard will be there! Be sure to come by tomorrow, because while the Market happens every Thursday, our attendance is less regular.
The Earlysville Farmers Market is located at the Earlysville Green on Earlysville Rd in Earlysville, Va, and is open from 4 – 7 p.m. … Earlysville! Stop by tomorrow for Well Hung wine, and come back every other Thursday until October for more fresh, local produce, baked goods, flowers, artisan wares, and so much more.
This Saturday, April 17th, the folks at Well Hung Vineyard will be down in Farmville at the Farmville Wine Festival, and we’d sure love to see you there! We will be joined by 7 other local vineyards in what promises to be a great event!
From around 11 – 5, you can find us at Riverfront Park (located here-ish). Tickets are $15. So that’s, what, less than $2 per vineyard you sample? What a steal! There will also be a DJ, and a variety of artists, photographers and jewelers, to keep the whole family entertained (did I mention that the kiddos under 21 get in for free?)
More information can be found at http://www.farmvillewinefestival.com.
Cheers!
Later this month, Well Hung Vineyard is hittin’ the road! From February 26 – 28, we are going to be exhibitors in the Virginia Wine Expo. This is a pretty huge event and we’re excited to be participating. If a weekend of wine tastings and showcases of regional cuisine sounds like your thing, lucky you! I have a link to a place where you can check out the schedule of events and buy tickets right here.
See you there!

2008 Well Hung Wines Chardonnay
Aside from the fun label and the infinite number of crass jokes and double entendres that inevitably come with it, this new Virginia wine producer actually has the quality where it counts, INSIDE the bottle. Crushed and bottled with the hlep of winemaker Michael Shaps at Virginia Wine Works, the fruit come from the home vineyard of viticulturalist Amy Steers and her husband Bill (a urologist, which adds yet another layer of humor to the name…) and along with their Cabernet Franc create some very well priced wines. Bright ripe apple citrus aromas on the nose with just the slightest notes of vanilla from the oak and an impressively warm, inviting fullness of fruit in the mouth provide everything you would hope for from a Virginia Chardonnay. It would be very easy to find more expensive Chardonnays that don’t provide the enjoyment found here, and if you’re feeling a little juvenile the label will give you a few giggles as well.
There you have it! A good deal on a wine that’s good fun.
Cheers!
Come join us at the Crozet Arts and Crafts Festival on October 10th and 11th. Sample our wines which will be available for purchase along with Well Hung t shirts, boxers, aprons and towels.
