Despite sales boom, Va. wineries are small grapes at wine festival

Jan 30, 2013

(WTOP) - Virginia wines are gaining acclaim and boasting record sales for the state, but a regional wine festival returning to Washington only features two wineries from the commonwealth. Gaining respect in the wine industry is a slow process, Virginia vintners say. But those that are invited are glad to be a part of the fourth annual Capital Wine Festival. "Up until a few years ago, people didn't really know about Virginia wine," says Amanda Galanis, manager at Boxwood Estate Winery in Middleburg, Va.
