Wineries that will ship?

[dintysue]

I want to send a gift to someone and would love to have it come from a VA winery but an admittedly half baked search didn't yield any obvious candidates. I realize there are limitations of where wineries can ship from/to SO leaving that aside - does anyone have a 'go to' recommendation from Virginia or some other wine producing state? Thanks

Hi there,
We run wine tours and belong to the Virginia Vineyards Assn here in Charlottesville.
The most popular wineries here with our guests tend to be:
Blenheim
Pollak
Cardinal Point
Mountfair
King
Virginia Wineworks
Lovingston
Keswick
Also very popular are
Veritas
Afton Mtn
White Hall
Kluge
First Colony
Barboursville

I'm probably forgetting one but you can find them all on one website with links to their individual website at virginiawines.org

Without knowing what kind of wine you wish to ship it's hard to point you to one specific winery. And like they say, it depends on the state to which you need to ship. Many states require additional licenses, and some of the wineries just don't have the time and of course money to do them all, and some states are still not allowing shipping. That's fine, more wine for us!

I really like Flying Fox and Whitehall (their Grand Cuvee is very good, as well as the breakheart which is a good bargain) along with Barboursville. King Family has some decent wine too. And Jefferson vineyards has some great wines too and the bottles are oh so cool.

Chrysalis Winery, which is near Middleburg. I have gotten wine shipped to me from them before. All of their wine's are pretty decent, my fav is their Sarah's Patio Red, perfect for antipasta. Albarino's good too, but the Patio is the best deal.

thank you all for the tips. I'm going to go ahead and start Christmas shopping early, way early.....

It's the best way, but be sure to label or keep a list.

There are some states that don't allow wine to be shipped in. Maryland, for one. So check the state your friend lives in first!

Most wineries will ship, if your state of destination permits. For Virginia wineries go to their websites and it's relatively self-explanatory. In Virginia, I always have liked Linden, http://www.lindenvineyards.com/ and Barboursville, http://www.barboursvillecellar.com/.

Not Virginia, but St. Supery in Sonoma is great, and our go-to. You can get them in stores. Most lines cost around $20/bottle, but a few lower and more higher - I can't recall a bad one.
