MyJoogTV.com just released a video featuring Starr Hill Brewing's Monticello Reserve Ale. This is the official beer of Monticello and brewed using ingredients Thomas Jefferson likely used two centuries ago. Whereas Jefferson is well known for his attempts to cultivate wine grapes, he was also an avid brewer. However he never used a preset recipe and instead, each year brewed beer based on that year's harvest. He also didn't grow barley, but grew wheat and corn instead. These are the main ingredients to the Monticello Reserve Ale as well as East Kent Goldings hops, which may have been available during Colonial times. We highly recommend this beer - nice citrus flavors with a touch of sweetness balanced with smooth mellow finish. Cheers.

A Few Hours in Loudoun: North Gate Vineyards & Hiddencroft Vineyards
Being a little stuck inside stir crazy, we headed out for a short trip to Loudoun County to visit two wineries: North Gate Vineyards & Hiddencroft Vineyards. North Gate is owned and operated by Mark and Vicki Fedor, who were working the tasting bar on our arrival. They've been tending fines in Loudoun for almost 15 years and were the initial winemakers at Corcoran Vineyards several years ago. At this
point in time, the winery is sold out of some wine (Viognier and Petit Verdot), but we sampled their 2010 Chardonnay, 2010 Petit Mensing, 2009 Cabernet Franc, 2009 Merlot, 2009 Meritage, and NV Apple. All the fruit is sourced from Loudoun County and the resulting wines were rather enjoyable. And affordable - all under $20; which makes their Meritage (Cabernet Franc, (47%), Cabernet Sauvignon (26%), Petit Verdot (21%), and Merlot (6%)) a rather nice deal. The Chardonnay was also a favorite, being both fruit forward and slightly creamy after having been fermented and aged in a combination of older (neutral) and new oak. The Apple and Petit Mensing were also very nice - with any residual sugar equally balanced from the wine's acidity. We plan on getting easier access to their wines, since the winery participates in the Winter Falls Church Farmer's Market.From North Gate we headed through Hillsboro to Hiddencroft Vineyards after not having visited the winery in a numb
er of years. We did get a chance to sample their Gold winning 2009 Cabernet Franc, which was in the running for last year's Governor's Cup. On arriving at the winery we were briefly disorientated because they have expanded into the adjacent property and moved the tasting facilities into a new building, an 1830’s farmhouse they christened "Dutchman’s Creek Tasting House". Clyde and Terry Housel were also both in the tasting room and Terry guided us through the wines. And we really love these wines, not only their quality but also the range in varietals. As Virginia moves into the Vinifera world, many are replacing hybrids with Bordeaux grape varieties. Not at Hiddencroft. Yes they produce a mighty fine Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc and Tannat (one of the few 100% varietal Ta
nnats in the state), but there are few places in Loudoun where you can sample a Vidal Blanc, Traminette, and Chambourcin, as well as a range of fruit wines. The Traminette was a real surprise, produced dry with a powerful floral aroma that seizes your attention, then mellows into the spicy Gewurtz flavor. Very nice. And the fruit wines are delicious - made sweet but with enough acidity for balance. The Blackberry was the bomb: it has the fortified raisin flavor of a port - without the alcohol. And the blackberries are grown on the estate. The Raspberry Chambourcin Vitis Rubus is another fruit wine worth savoring. I think Hiddencroft has it all, dry viniferas for the "serious" wine consumer and flavorful and enjoyable hybrids and fruit wines for the casual wino. Cheers.

| dvinewinetime | me too! Too many sweet ones < “@VinoCC: took me a while to warm to #Riesling. Lrgly b/c of @summerrriesling & @austrianwine #winechat” |
| VinoCC | I think of Riesling for cool weather RT @elinsilveous: Riesling seems good for fishing & summer concerts (+ Thanksgiving) #WineChat |
| RickGriffin | @mariepayton I didn't even like rieslings before @mmWine turned me on to Dr. Loosen #winechat |
| TylerOnWine | Grey Riesling, Missouri Riesling, and Welschriesling are all imposters of the real thing. #winechat |
| dryncwine | RT @mariepayton: Riesling’s crisp acidity cuts through the richness of meats and sauces #winechat |
| AydinOdyakmaz | RT @jacswineblog: @pja477 @mariepayton #winechat Zind-Humbrecht very serious Alsace Riesling, smooth fruit, ginger, & waxy characteristics, very food friendly |
| myvinespot | RT @dryncwine: RT @mariepayton: Riesling’s crisp acidity cuts through the richness of meats and sauces #winechat |
| RickGriffin | @rorymadstudios LOL - not a scheme - just forgot to pick up a riesling:) #winechat |
| jacswineblog | @happyhourmary #winechat You’ve got to get excited about white! I’ve been focusing on oddballs like Erbaluce, Petite Arvine & Petit Manseng |
| ElinSilveous | @VinoCC What do you recommend for fishing & summer concerts? #WineChat |
| WineHouseLA | Great topic. We do love Riesling. Unfortunately so often its misunderstand. Here are our choices 4 tonight. #winechat http://t.co/VzW9u7uH |
| myvinespot | Most Australian produces? RT @SMCBarros: #winechat the petroleum question is touchy, most producers do not find this desirable in any way |
| pierrecarafe | RT @TylerOnWine: The Riesling we are most familiar with is called ‘White Riesling’. #winechat |
| mmWine | haha! Rock on! RT @RickGriffin: @mariepayton I didn't even like rieslings before @mmWine turned me on to Dr. Loosen #winechat |
| mmWine | Remember Riesling goes from dry to sweet based on harvest time. Trokken, Kabinett, Spatslese, Auslese and Beerenausleese #winechat |
| happyhourmary | @RickGriffin @mariepayton @mmWine writing down Dr. Loosen, which is why I love #winechat!! |
| mariepayton | @mmWine Great point - later harvest --> sweeter, yes? #winechat |
| happyhourmary | @jacswineblog I have only heard of Erbaluce. Will have to look into the others. #winechat |
| ElinSilveous | Troon's is dry, slightly fruity RT @myvinespot: A common misconception is that #Riesling only produces sweet wine. #NotTrue #winechat |
| mariepayton | Let's talk about the major regions producing Riesling #winechat |
| mmWine | yes. Longer hangtime, water dries, sugars concentrate! RT @mariepayton: @mmWine Great point - later harvest --> sweeter, yes? #winechat |
| MsCB83 | RT @myvinespot: A common misconception is that #Riesling only produces sweet wine. #NotTrue #winechat |
| jacswineblog | Anyone like Dr. Hans Von Muller Auslese Riesling (Mosel) as much as I do? Golden, apricot, underlying acidity, great w/ dessert #winechat |
| myvinespot | Tip: Don't pigeon-hole yourself w/ just liking sweet or dry #Riesling -- let the mood and/or food guide you and enjoy them all! #winechat |
| kahunteroma | How long can you age an Auslese? Spatlese? #winechat |
| dvinewinetime | @winecompass - thnx 4 info - good stuff! #winechat |
| mariepayton | Germany is the ancestral homeland for Riesling #winechat |
| pja477 | @WineHouseLA Ill have to make a note of all 4 and pick them up #winechat |
| ElinSilveous | Hear hear RT @winecompass @mmWine Agreed, but don't discount the Pacific NW, @FingerLakesPR or even Colorado's Grand Valley #winechat |
| mmWine | @happyhourmary in inexpensive Dr loosen is the "Dr L" - it's about $13 and great. The Blue Slate is a bit more complex and my fav #winechat |
| myvinespot | Some important #Riesling regions: Germany (Mosel), France (Alsace), USA (CV, Washington State & Finger Lakes, NY) #winechat |
| mariepayton | The Mosel, Rheingau and Rheinhessen are the most important German regions for growing Riesling #winechat |
| jacswineblog | @dirksomm #winechat Can’t go wrong with Zind-Humbrecht! |

| mariepayton | Riesling is a darling of sommeliers but still not on everyone's radar; how to change that? #winechat |
| myvinespot | Just my opinion, but #Riesling has an abundant of charming characteristics on its own (naked) – OAK need not apply. #winechat |
