Last night we participated in the 57th #VaWineChat with several other people across the country and in Loudoun County. Visit Loudoun sponsored the tasting by providing us with the wines you see below. We followed along on Twitter as Frank Morgan from Drink What You Like interviewed most of the winemakers. Find out what we thought of the wines by the Tweets listed under each wine.
