There are some nice things about working for a broker who has a little vineyard in nearby Bluemont, Virginia. It's a pleasant hour or so drive from Washington, out toward Leesburg and Round Hill.
There is usually a pretty good stash of Twin Oaks Tavern Chardonnay in the office. Until this year, they couldn't sell it, so they drank some and gave some away to friends and colleagues. A few months ago, I brought a bottle to a dinner party with some serious wine snobs who deemed it more than just potable! It's just oaky enough, and nice and light. Yum!
They had their 2005 and 2006 Chardonnay and a nice Cabernet, as well as scrumptious food and lively Irish music performed by a local title attorney and his buddies.

It's nice to have friends like that. Sounds fun! ~Pat
Pat - What a great outing. My brokers organized a picnic at one of our local wineries a couple of years back - what az blast!
How fortunate for you. A terrific broker for your office and a place for wine on the weekends!
Hi Pat!! Long time no visit..... so where do I sign up?
Party . good wine . friends . fun . beautiful scenery . historic home . pretty good life on the street for a real estate agent I know in the Washington DC area.
Pat, I still think that you would have had fun stomping grapes with us ;) What a gorgeous day and what a great place for you all to go. We are really so lucky in so many ways to live here in the DC area.
...and very pretty pictures, too.
I love that Virginia has allowed wineries to be considered for agricultural exemption, I just cannot get my family to get into the wine business instead of cattle. This looks like you had fun!
Oh what a wonderful view! I can imagine how delightful it must be at harvest time. I can almost smell the grapes on the vine now...

Hi Pat... my Broker is very supportive, has high ethical standards and is a genuinely nice guy... and until I saw your post, that was enough for me. I'm telling him tomorrow that he needs to go shopping for a winery! :)
I will have to sample my self. I'll be in DC for the May meetings make sure you tell me where I can get a bottle.
Pat I must say that's a nice perk. Looks like a great celebration in a beautiful setting.
Pat.... sounds like fun... and as mentioned, what a nice perk. PS>.. I might be down in Annapolis on Nov. 3rd or 4th.....
Pat,
It looks like everyone had a great time. I like taking a tour of our local wineries and sampling their fare.
This week we filled out an informal survey for our broker owners. One of the questions was "What would you like to see for our office?"
I should have answered "For one of you to own a vineyard."
Drats. I had my chance and blew it.
