Actually, Peter made it quite clear that we had to find a good port on our second (and last) day of wine tasting. I think he's not too optimistic about the quality or quantity of port available in Virginia.

Gary Farrell has a couple zins that are really nice - I think wine.com has one of them. If you ever get the chance to go up into Sonoma County - you have to stop at Porter Creek. Definitely my favorite from the trip, and possibly from all my wine tasting adventures since living here. If money wasn't an issue I would've bought a bottle of everything I tasted (and a case of the Reserve Pinot ) - every single one of their wines was very good to outstanding.
