We also visited a fantastic restaurant downtown. Scroll down for more of our epic evergreen escapades.
First Stop:
Second Stop:
This is a fantastic and classic Middleburg restaurant. Everyone was friendly and the food was scrumptious.
My selection:
Boudin Blanc: Grilled white sausage (chicken, pork & brandy) served with a petit salad caramelized onions & dijon mustard
Anthony's selection:
Pizza: With caramelized onions, duck confit and Roquefort cheese.
Third Stop:
The Winery: Greenhill Winery, Middleburg, VA
My Tasting Notes: The Blanc de Blancs is my favorite out of all of their wines that I tasted. It's a sparkling wine made using traditional champagne methods, using 100% Chardonnay grapes...small delicate bubbles and hints of lemon and pear. And who doesn't love a good champagne during the holidays?!
My Verdict: It's an up and coming winery. The reds were okay, but not notable...and they were actually out of one of the whites on their tasting menu so we couldn't try it, which either means it's an amazing wine, or they were under-prepared. But, it was a fun atmosphere, cozy with a beautiful view. If you like brand new wineries, definitely pay Greenhill a visit. And in a few years, the reds will probably mellow out!!
