Two New Vendors! (Hear ye Williamsburg!)

Hello Well Hungians,

We are pleased to announce the addition of 2 new locations to our fine list (and map!) of vendors.

First, we take our place among history; we can now be found in colonial Williamsburg on the wine list at the Williamsburg Lodge (located here!). Be sure to stop in for dinner!

Also, we are proud to announce that you can now find us in the esteemed Virginia Shop in the Barracks Road Shopping Center in Charlottesville.

Two classy establishments for a classy wine! Cheers!

Special Deal- Wine Warehouse’s Select Six!

Hey everyone,

Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville is featuring the Well Hung Chardonnay as a part of their special “Select Six” deal this October! During the month of October, head to Wine Warehouse and purchase any 6 of their specially marked wines at a discount! Their newsletter so glowingly describes our Chardonnay, we’re convinced you’ll go home with no less than a 6 pack -

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!
