I did my tasting with…read morethe owner sitting on porch chairs outside. 10 acres under vine, all hybrid (and as far as I can tell, 100% estate). The wines were mostly off-dry, all easy drinking. Being 100% hybrid sets them aside from other vineyards; if you're not a Chambourcin fan, this may not be your place. They also have Vidal Blank and Cayuga. Maybe the most unusual aspect of my tasting were the Chambourcin flights; 4 different vintages, with 4 distinct tasting profiles. My favorite was the 2012, which had some Cab Franc. They also had a blush wine. Not my thing, but another guest was ga-ga over it, so there's definitely a fan base for it!

The ladies working were friendly and knowledgeable, we split a flight and did not taste a single bad wine. They said all (or almost all, my memory is a little fuzzy on that fact) of them are dry, and I loved that you could choose four of your liking. We tried the viognier, cab, petit Verdot and merlot - they were all so perfectly balanced and delicious. We sat by the fire and had a great time, it was so cozy. I can't wait to come back and enjoy the outdoor space.

It also has one of the prettiest driveways I've seen so far! The wines tended towards very light, even for the reds. If you're not a tannin fan, you'll find a lot to like here. 16 Viognier: Floral and honey notes, honey on the palate 15 Estate Chardonnay: Grassy notes, not much oak 17 Le Gras Rose: Nice! Cherry-ish 15 Merlot: For some reason I got a tart finish, which is unusual for most merlots that I've tried 15 Cab Franc: Also nice; cherry-ish finish. 14 Tannat: Nice body, strong tannin.

Yesterday, my 75 yr old mother and I stopped by the store to pick up a six pack of local beer to…read morecelebrate my short visit from the West Coast. The sign on the door said that no one was allowed in the store due to COVID concerns and that we needed to call, give the attendant our order, and it would be brought out to us. My mom and I were fine with this (she had shopped there before and was familiar with the routine) and called the number. The gentleman behind the counter - roughly 25 ft away from us and clearly visible through the glass door/front window - picked up the phone and asked what we wanted. We couldn't remember the name of the beer and tried to describe the packaging to him. The gentleman (who I assume is the owner but can't be sure) continued to stand behind the counter and watch us as we squinted/stood on our toes/craned our necks/etc. in an attempt to identify the product on one of the shelves. He never left the counter or tried to help us. Finally, we were able to make out the name of the beer on the shelf, and mom gave him our order and told him that she would be paying with a credit card. Then, instead of coming to the door to collect my mother's card as he had in the past, the gentleman insisted my mother give him her card number and security code while she stood there on the public sidewalk of the strip mall. Before I could stop her from giving the info, a construction worker working in the empty store next door walked by slowly, and I turned my attention to him to make sure he wasn't listening. By the time I turned back to mom, the gentleman behind the counter had asked her for her HOME ADDRESS which she was already in process of giving. Clearly I told mom to never do that again, and I waited for the gentleman to deliver our order to the door. When he opened the door, I calmly said that he shouldn't be asking customers to give out their personal information while standing on a public sidewalk. That it was dangerous and inappropriate. He quickly and coldly responded, "You could have gone to your car." As I stood there shocked at this ridiculous and clearly not customer-friendly response, he continued, "Or ordered online." He then closed the door, locked it and scurried back to his counter. This is customer service at it's worst, and clearly a dangerous practice. We will never be returning to this establishment, and I encourage others to stay away as well. There are a number of other quality options in the Charlottesville area.

Wineworks Extended is a mellow option for having a glass of wine closer to Charlottesville. The set up is more like a warehouse/office park brewery vibe. The seating is on the deck and then a tent in the parking lot that I assume was a response to COVID. The inside tasting room is very small and no places to sit. We did a Virginia and a French tasting flight. Both were great, but the standout was the Michael Shaps L. Scott, a blend of Tannat, Merlot, and Malbec. Super tasty and very strong fruit and acidity. There are a some limited food options (think cheese) and bottled water in the fridge in doors.
