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!
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!
Finally, having a Google alert for Well Hung wine has yielded something besides explicit personal ads!
Swirl, Sip, Snark, a Virginia-centric online wine reviewer (and Twitterer [just like us!]) had some very kind words to say recently about both the ‘08 Well Hung Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc in a recent review.
Our wine is no joke!
Well, it is, sure… but it doesn’t taste funny! And now you don’t just have to take our word for it!
Notable quotes-
The chardonnay: “On the nose I got light oak, green apple and yeast – I love a yeasty white wine, so I was really excited. When I got around to tasting the wine – I mean I had to savor that yeasty nose for a while – it struck me as a bright, fruity wine with hints of oak and a balanced acidity. All in all, it was a good, all purpose white that very drinkable.”
The cabernet franc: “I was immediately struck by how dark the wine was. I’m used to cab francs having a bit lighter color, but I love a dark wine, so I started to get excited for this one as well. The wine had a lot of complexity on the nose. I got dark cherry/plum, spice, caramel/oak, and a bit of leather and chocolate. In the mouth it was a mellower wine. There were definitely dark fruit elements and there were hints of oak/toastyness/caramel. The wine had a very short finish and a lighter mouthfeel than I would have expected, but it was another enjoyable wine.”
And in conclusion: “Keep an eye on these women and try their wines if you get the chance. I’m sure glad I did.”
Cheers!
