VIP PICKUP PARTY at the AG DISTRICT CENTER

  • Chrysalis Vineyards at The Ag District 39025 John Mosby Highway Middleburg, VA, 20117 United States (map)

October is  typically the busiest month of the year in the tasting room. Something about the fall colors and cooler weather beckons people to the countryside to drink wine. The Ag District is the perfect place to view the fall foliage with a glass of wine and some fresh artisan cheese! The Bull Run Mountains always put on a spectacular show around this time of year!  So... come on out to the Ag District and help us celebrate Virginia Wine Month!

Our VIP event for October will be held on the evening of October 18th from 6:00pm until 8:00pm. Please remember to send your RSVP to VIP-Club@ChrysalisWine.com no later than October 14th.

The red wine selection for our VIP Club members this month is Chrysalis Vineyards 2016 Rubiana. The Spanish name Rubiana implies the Iberian roots of this wine. This red blend is medium-bodied and garnet in color, with an intensely aromatic nose and nuances of spice. Flavors of black fruits, pepper and earth make this a perfect accompaniment to food. Try this with an entrée of roasted chicken and garlic.

Our white wine selection for October is Chrysalis Vineyards 2017 Viognier. Its rich mouth feel comes from the sur lie and bâtonnage technique or “stirring of the lees” which is done during fermentation. The nose greets you with subtle rose and honey suckle, while white peaches and nectarine fill the palate. A slight, crisp acidity completes this well balanced wine. Enjoy our 2017 Viognier with a wheel of Locksley Farmstead Cheese Company's "Maid Marian" Camembert cheese.

As a reminder to our members, all VIP wine is available for pickup at the Ag District Center tasting room anytime during regular business hours. If you can’t make it out to pick up your wines on a monthly basis, we will hold them for you. Due to storage limitations, however, we do ask that you pick them up once you accumulate a case (6 months). We can also arrange for wine to be shipped to most locations, at your request.

Also, please remember that you can always find your paired recipes and detailed tasting notes at www.ChrysalisWine.com in the Private VIP Club Area. Also check in with us or follow us on Facebook for updates and announcements.
