Even though most people think that California is one of the only places to get good wine from in the United States, Virginia is out to prove them wrong. For the week of March 22-28, the Virginia Tourism Corp. declared the first ever Virginia Wine Week. This whole week is designed to forcast the amount of Virginia made wines. Many of the state stores that have special varieties of Virginia wine will add to their lists for the week.
Through the promotion of Virginia made wines this week, many people hope that there will be more of a focus on Virginia wineries and vineyards and not just the wines that are made in California. In 2007, the Virginia Commonwealth and Charlottesville were rated in one of the top five up and coming wine destinations worldwide in the Travel and Leisure Magazine. Hopefully more people will come to appreciate the variety of wine that comes from Virginia.
