PLACE:
Prince Michel, Horton and Barboursville Vineyards
See above for more information
The
Columbia College Club of Mid Atlantic cordially invites ALL
alumni of Columbia University to an excursion to the Virginia
Wine Country. We will be visiting three premium wineries:
Prince
Michel - We will visit their wine museum, take a tour
of the winery and taste the wines. Prince Michel is the
largest winery in the state, producing 38,000 cases annually.
It is owned by Jean Leducq, a French businessman, who also
now owns Rapidan River Winery as well as 20 acres in the
Napa Valley. Prince Michel produces wines in a French style,
while Rapidan River (which was started by a German surgeon)
produces wine in a Germanic style.
Horton
Vineyards - We will eat our box lunches here (see choices
below) and have a brief tour and taste the goods. The multi-talented
Dennis Horton designed the impressive edifice here and
has also been extremely influential in Virginia viticulture
by proving that Viognier and other Rhone grape varieties
can thrive in Virginia. Dennis has also broken the mold
with his stunning success with a native Virginia grape
(the Norton) as well as with Portuguese varieties.
Barboursville -
This historic site is named for James Barbour and the ruins
of the James Barbour mansion designed by Thomas Jefferson.
(James Barbour was Virginia Governor and Senator who also
served as Secretary of War and Ambassador to Great Britain
under President John Quincy Adams.) In more recent times,
Barboursville has made its name with its quality wines produced
from a wide range of grapes including the Italian Sangiovese
and Pinot Grigio.
We
look forward to seeing you on this grand tour of Virginia
Wine Country!
