This Saturday Join Author James Gabler at Virginia Philip Wine Shop & Academy



This Saturday Join Author James Gabler alongside the Virginia Philip Wine Shop & Academy team as he discusses the two true passions of Thomas Jefferson: Wine and Travel.

Saturday, January 7, 2012 1:00pm - 2:30pm, $50

Jefferson (known for spelling words phonetically rather than correctly) once called wine a "necessary of life." His love for drinking was combined with his interest in the viticulture and vinification of wine. He took concise notes on soil and rootstocks in Portugal, France, and Germany. He experimented with grape growing in both his homes, France and the United States. Many of his favorite wines such as the First Growths of Bordeaux, the Grand Crus of Burgundy and the Brunellos of Italy are considered amongst the top wines in the world today.
