Using theCompass Winery & Brewery Locator in Southwest Virginia

For those traveling down Route 81 to southwestern Virginia, take a look at the theCompass Winery and Brewery Locator. Besides wineries in Virginia, it will help you locate wineries near the border in Tennessee and North Carolina. In the past we've explored Coltsfoot Winery, Corey Ippolito Winery, and Countryside Vineyards & Winery. This year we hope to tackle Abingdon Vineyard & Winery. Cheers.

Virginia Wine TV Winemaker Series: Coltsfoot Winery & Elderberry Wine

This week we travel to southwestern Virginia, not far from the Tennessee border to visit Coltsfoot Winery and their portfolio of "Country Wines". These are wines made from berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries), peaches, plums, or what ever non-grape fruit are available. Proprietor and winemaker Edward Carney discusses the short history of the winery, including their award winning label, as well as their Elderberry Wine - in particular the health benefits of Elderberries. Elderberry wine is also available at  Village Winery and Hill Top Berry Farm & Winery.  Later that weekend we found Coltsfoot wines (as well as Blacksnake Meadery and Foggy Ridge Cider) available at Inari Wines Gourmet Market in downtown Bristol. The intro music is "In Your Arms" by Charlottesville based, the Downbeat Project. And as always, VirginiaWineTV videos are available via iTunes. Cheers.
