I am so excited about making it to the wine tasting after the Marine Corps Ball; it was a wonderful experience. Those who went, I know they were not disappointed, I know I wasn’t! I never knew there was wonderful treasure right next to Marine Corps Base Quantico. The tasting was amazing and I even had an opportunity to get a tour with the owner! I went with my girlfriend and also invited another couple. We all enjoyed the experience, talking with other people there and also gaining knowledge from the people that worked there. One of the things that caught my attention was that this winery has only been open since this past summer!
I can only imagine how this winery is going to continue to flourish over the next few years. I’m out of town right now and unfortunately forgot my notes and pictures, at home. However, over the next few postings I will mention the great variety of tastings they have there. During my visit I learned that there are many volunteering opportunities and activities to be apart of. One can learn how wine is made, starting from the early stages of the different combinations of grapes to the last stages of bottling the bottles. This is something for people who are definitely interested not only learning about drinking wine, but just learning a different side of wine entirely.
I truly thank everyone for recommending great wines, some of which I personally have never tried. I will definitely have a glass during Thanksgiving dinner! I wish everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving. Take care.

Could you give us some more information on this wine tasting? What winery was it? How many people were there? What types of wine did you get to taste? Did the winery/host of the event do food/wine parings? There is so much information here I wish you would give us!
I am guessing your a Marine and can get access to Henderson Hall in DC. I went there last week because I just absolutely love wine and they have a little winery. They have a pretty good size selection of all types of wine. My favorite wine is Reasling I bought 3 bottles. You should go out there sometime and buy some. The price ranges from the $5.00 to almost $300. Also here are some more winerys you should visit.
Lake Anna Winery and Oak Hill Vineyard - Spotsylvania
Ingleside Plantation Vineyards - Oak Grove
Swedenburg Estate Vineyard - Middleburg
Have fun with it and take pictures.
