Welcome Gardino Cellars

Gardino Cellars is a new winery opening this month in Washington (also known as "Little" Washington), Virginia, home of the fabulous Inn At Little Washington. They will bring their Italian flair to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Their 2004 harvest includes Chardonnay, Viognier, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The whites are already on the market, with the reds gathering strength as they age in their barrels. With an annual production of less than 2,000 cases, quality should remain a priority. Now we have another excuse to visit the "other" Washington in the area.

Here is a story about Gardino from the Rappahannock News.
