Flavor Magazine
An exciting new magazine that gives you a taste of the abundant varieties of food and wine in Virginia’s Piedmont region. Thomas Jefferson said, “By making this wine vine known to the public, I have rendered my country as great a service as if I had enabled it to pay back the national debt.” We thought we’d supplement Mr. Jefferson’s accomplishment by making the Piedmont’s wineries, vineyards, and winemakers known to the public through a series of features we think even TJ would approve.
