In the February 2010 issue of Wine Enthusiast Magazine, which is nationally and internationally distributed, several Virginia red wines were given excellent ratings. In fact, the 87 rating for three of these wines is the highest ever awarded to Virginia red wines (the highest rating for any Virginia wine was an 89 many years ago for Linden's late harvest vidal).
Here are these recent ratings, on a scale of 0 - 100, in alphabetical order within a rating range:
Kluge Estate 2005 New World Red Blend (87 points)
Three Fox Vineyards 2007 Alouette Cabernet Franc (87 points )
Veramar Vineyards 2007 Cabernet Franc (87 points)
Del Fosse 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (86 points)
Cooper Vineyards 2007 Cabernet Franc (85 points)
Veramar Vineyards NV Rooster Red Bordeaux Blend (83 points)
[I should also note that Cooper Vineyards 2008 Viognier was rated at 86 points but the major story here is so many Virginia REDs doing so well.]
For additional interest, we have been informed that three more of our red wines will appear with high ratings in the May issue of Wine Enthusiast Magazine. These are:
Three Fox Vineyards 2007 Piemontese Nebbiolo (85 points)
Three Fox Vineyards 2007 Signor Sangiovese Reserve (85 points)
Three Fox Vineyards 2007 Volpe Sangiovese (84 points)
I'm sure you will agree that all of the above noted vineyards getting such great ratings on a national and international level are helping spread the word about the ever increasing quality of Virginia reds.

Despite the recession and the tough economy, it seems more good news are in store for wine enthusiasts. According to the latest issue of the Wine Spectator, the sluggish economy drives wine prices down, and wine lovers are taking advantage of the trend. Now, more than ever wine producers are going out of their way to attract customers with hard to resist deals, and while times like this may be challenging for wine producers, they also highlight the tremendous significance of social marketing and wine blogging in winning new customers. Already a pioneer in social networking, Veramar Vineyard runs two blogs and connects with hundreds of wine enthusiasts on Twitter, Facebook and Flickr. Finally, Veramar recognizes the positive power of wine blogging and hopes to get wind under blogger's wings, and inspire them to start a new dialogue about wine, life and beauty!
