Gray Ghost Vineyards – Taste & Tour

November 12, 2017 By Jana Leave a Comment

Gray Ghost Vineyards and Winery Collage

Gray Ghost Vineyards and Winery might possibly be the most recommended winery I've come to know. Because Gray Ghost is local to my area, I had waited to visit since I could do so without prearranged planning. Turns out that was like waiting to cash in a winning lottery ticket. Get comfy because I've got a lot to tell (and show) you! I'm celebrating a milestone of sorts: This is my 20th Virginia Winery Taste and Tour post! So I wanted it to be special. As you may remember from my ...

Effingham Manor Winery – Taste & Tour

October 10, 2017 By Jana Leave a Comment

Effingham Manor Winery Collage

October is Virginia Wine Month. What better way to celebrate than visiting Virginia's newest winery? Effingham Manor Winery, located in Nokesville (Northern Virginia), had been on my radar long before their opening. Their wines were available for purchase--and were winning awards--before their tasting room and historic manor were open to the public. As tempted as I was to give their vinos a try, I was determined to wait for their opening to gain the full experience. Definitely worth the ...

Aspen Dale Winery at the Barn – Taste & Tour

December 4, 2016 By Jana Leave a Comment

Building on the diverse lineup of wineries clustered among the hills of Delaplane, Aspen Dale Winery at the Barn stands solidly among its peers. One of the few wineries to actually merge Virginia's horse and wine country into a one-stop experience, Aspen Dale will be a hit from excited toddlers to sophisticated wine connoisseurs. You'd be hard pressed to find a member of your group who won't find something endearing about this winery. The Winery . . . As soon as you turn down the gravel ...

Barboursville Vineyards – Taste & Tour

November 6, 2016 By Jana 2 Comments

Jana in Octagon Barrel Room

One of Virginia's crown jewels of wine production, Barboursville Vineyards should not only be on your wine tour list, you should dedicate an entire day there. Famously known for its Octagon Bordeaux-style blend--served to Queen Elizabeth II upon her visit to the Commonwealth--there is greatness to be discovered. And tasted. Riding across the gentle hills of the Piedmont region, you'll be struck with not only vivid history, but an area that time has yet to disturb. And Barboursville ...

Paradise Springs Winery – Taste & Tour

October 23, 2016 By Jana Leave a Comment

Paradise Springs Winery

If you've ever visited Fairfax County in Virginia, what might stick in your mind is the sprawling Tysons skyline or the unbearable traffic you suffered circumnavigating the west side of Washington. Starting right now what you should remember is this: Paradise Springs Winery. Fairfax County's first (and as far as I can tell, only) winery. And while it's the closest winery to the District, proximity should not be the reason you visit. Read on to find out why. Paradise Springs Winery is ...

Breaux Vineyards – Taste & Tour

August 14, 2016 By Jana Leave a Comment

Breaux Vineyards - Overlook

In the far northern corner of Virginia, just a few miles from both Maryland and West Virginia, resides one of Virginia's most glorious winemaking regions. Loudoun County boasts dozens of wonderful wineries. And if they were laid across the rolling hills like some spectacular constellation, Breaux Vineyards could arguably be its Polaris. As grand as it is delightful, Breaux understands not only winemaking, but the overall wine experience. Located in one of Virginia's most densely populated ...

Morais Vineyards & Winery – Taste & Tour

July 21, 2016 By Jana 2 Comments

Morais Vineyards & Winery - Wall of Wines

Tucked far behind a low-profile white rock wall in Bealeton, Virginia, Morais Vineyards and Winery appears to be another historic Virginia estate. In the blur of your peripheral vision as you speed up US 17, you might not give it a second glance. But what lies at the end of the windswept lane is certainly worth more than a glimpse. As you wind up the 180-acre property, the grounds are manicured and evenly blended with vines and landscaping. Both grand and slightly whimsical, the property ...

Three Fox Vineyards – Taste & Tour

July 14, 2016 By Jana 2 Comments

Located among the gently rolling hills of northern Fauquier County, Virginia, Three Fox Vineyards has something--and space--for everyone, right down to your kids and your dogs. Blending well-crafted wines, park-like serenity, and vast spaces that will satisfy your craving for freedom, Three Fox gets it all right. The hills are alive with . . . well, Pinot Grigio!  And Viognier, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Cabernet Franc and Merlot.  Fifteen acres of Three Fox Vineyards' sprawling 50-acre ...

There is no thrill quite like opening a new cookbo There is no thrill quite like opening a new cookbook for the first time! Akin to exploring an uncharted destination; the possibilities are endless! As the title of this culinary masterpiece by Gina Zarcadoolas reads,"Cuisines, Corkscrews, & Cultures: A Treasury of Recipes, Wine Pairings, and Travel Lifestyles", the discovery is no longer metaphorical! Gina graciously includes us in her global travels while sharing a treasury of cultural recipes and wine pairing suggestions!
🍽
I was so excited to make "Gina's Naughty Spaghetti alla Puttanesca" (pictured above), and it did not disappoint! The well-crafted combination of gratifying flavors played out in a symphony of color and textures. As many of you know, I eat a plant-based diet. By no means does that mean I can't enjoy all of the delightful combinations of ingredients that Gina employs in her phenomenal recipes. Sometimes it just means a quick and easy substitution. For example, in this lovely Puttanesca, I merely substituted plant-based meat for the anchovies. To maintain the taste of the sea, a small addition of seaweed does the trick!
🍽
With the holidays fast approaching, I am always on the lookout for great gift ideas. Gina's cookbook, and all it has to offer, would definitely make a lovely present to bestow! You can find Gina and her cookbook @foodieandwinelover
Sometimes no plan is the plan! At least that was t Sometimes no plan is the plan! At least that was the case this weekend as I traveled down the apropos named "Road to Nowhere"--alternatively Corridor H in West Virginia. Resistant to abandon my plans to study for the day as I eagerly look forward to completing my continuing education and additional certifications in nutrition and wellness.
🍁
After some convincing I acquiesced. I've spent much of my life in two of the neighboring states to West Virginia, but my travels there rest solidly in the single digits. Once firmly afoot the gorgeous Appalachian Mountains, I realized a deficit in my life. Air--fresh air. Breaths--slow and deep. Healing--quieting stress in mind and body.
🍁
Looking around I knew it was important to capture this moment. A reminder. Grabbing my phone that had long since disconnected itself from cyberspace, I began snapping pictures. The leaves are turning, the wind turbines are spinning, and the colors are amazing. I've shared a couple above if you'd like a taste.
🍁
I am a planner and, "A goal without a plan is just a wish." Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. But on this day letting go of the plan was the best plan of all! So tell me, are you a planner?? Do you plan not to plan?? How do you unplug? Have you taken a ride on the road to nowhere?

Today’s IG Live is all about herbs! They can wor Today’s IG Live is all about herbs! They can work culinary miracles when it comes to changing a flavor profile! But did you know they also amp up the nutrient value of your dish? A tablespoon of parsley has 8% of your Daily Value of vitamin C and can be a natural diuretic. Many herbs contain antioxidants and can act as anti-inflammatory agents. If you don't already love herbs, you will after you watch the live chat I had with Lori Corbin. Along with nutritional benefits, we talk about how to store, use, and even grow your own! Lori provides great tips for growing herbs inside and out! If you missed it, be sure to check out the replay on @LoriCorbinTV . What is your favorite herb(s), and how often do you use it?? Let me know in the comments below! 🌱🥰🌱😋
