Locality

"Still" is a great place to taste wine in Hampton Roads.  This eclectic tapas restaurant is beautifully decorated and is located in Old Towne Portsmouth.  Still offers a very wide variety of wine to choose from at reasonable prices.  I am a Cabernet fan and my favorite wine at Still is the "Leese Fitch" (at around $6 a glass).  The relaxing atmosphere will comfort anyone into tasting wine.

"456 Fish" restaurant in Norfolk, VA is located off of Granby St and offers a nice selection of wine.  If you're a Riesling fan, you must try the "Frisk" Riesling (only around $30 a bottle).  Pair with their Fantail shrimp and you will enjoy every bit of the meal!

"Grape and Gourmet" is a store located in Virginia Beach.  Here, you will find over 1000 wines to choose from...talk about options!  This store even holds tasting events and has gourmet foods.  A great place to try different wines from all over the world and not limited to Hampton Roads.

"Total Wine" is one of my favorite places to purchase wine.  They have reasonable prices and rare wines that are not usually offered at one's local grocery store.

Happy Vino!

Wine is something that is very interesting to me.  It's not simply wine but also their different kinds, titles, origins, tastes, color and there food pairings.  Can you imagine all the things I get to discuss?  Obviously this is very broad so I am going to narrow it down and focus on the local wines in Virginia.  Hampton Roads has so many vineyards that are producing amazing wine.  If you're a wine lover too then hopefully you'll enjoy this and even learn where to buy local wine in Virginia with a great value.  I hope to learn a few things while doing the research for this blog myself.  Who knows...maybe I'll even bake a few things to go along with certain wines I find.  Enjoy!
