Sometimes the repeat can be better than the original

Yesterday we headed west on Rt 360, destination Concord, VA and DeVault Family Vineyards.  It looks like it could be an interesting place, but when we got there no one was there.  A sign hung on the wall to beep because they were in the vineyard, but after beeping and waiting around, no one showed.  Rather a shame, but maybe next time.

After lunch in Bedford, we headed down the road to LeoGrande Vineyard &Winery in Goode, VA.  We had been to LeoGrande a few years ago and had enjoyed our visit.  The owner's daughter had conducted the tasting and had done such a good job, and then we sat in beautiful Adirondack chairs and gazed at the mountains.  This visit was even better.  Mr. LeoGrande took us through the wines as only an owner who is up close and personal with his creation can do and we took time to sit again in those Adirondack chairs and gazed at the beautiful mountains.  It was a cloudy day, but the clouds hanging on the mountains in the distance just added something to the day.  Thank you Mr. LeoGrande for a lovely visit.  We will be back when your ice wine is ready!
