'tis the season for wine events

The two-foot snow is making gift shopping harder than ever this year. Which is why things like tickets to the Virginia Wine Showcase are really a great solution for any oenophile on your list.

Order here by tomorrow, and get tickets in time for Christmas—with $10 off. The event takes place February 6 and 7 at the Dulles Expo Center, just west of D.C. Your loved one can taste 300 artisan wines, meet the winemakers, and even attend culinary seminars with experts on wine, chocolate, and even kitchen design.

Some wines of note from our area you'll see there (click on any of the following to find out more info): Cross Keys Vineyards, DelFosse Vineyards & Winery, Kluge Estate Winery, Rockbridge Vineyard, Horton Vineyards, Burnley Vineyards, Sugarleaf Vineyards, and Veritas Vineyards.
