Spitting and not drinking two samples of each wine presented! Stick with the one you have and spit, spit, spit!

I know this person who accidentally got drunk at one of her first wine dinners. According to her companion, she tasted not only all of her wines, but her companion's wines, too. Apparently she thought that those little sips didn't add up, but alas, they did! After the dinner, she only remembers being at the bar briefly, but according to her companion, more drinks were ordered and she ended up having to be almost carried down the stairs to where the car was parked. As for my friend, she doesn't remember anything after heading to the bar. So the moral is: little sips can can lead to trips and slips!

Great post! I'm looking forward to my first WBC and meeting you, the master of 140-character mini reviews! PS. I'm not excited about driving I-81 north to I-64 east, either! But at least we won't be subjected to the hands of the TSA! ;)

I live in Southwest Virginia and Norton is grown at my local winery, Abingdon Vineyard and Winery. There are only a few grapes that seem to do well in this area and that is one of them. This winery does a great job of producing decent wines made from Norton. I would hate to see local Virginia wineries lose their production of Norton grapes.
