Oktoberfest- fest
Posted by The Editorial Desk / Friday, October 21st, 2011
Your weekly weekend guide, available now! Check out Oktoberfest celebrations before its too late and you can start at Willowcroft Winery in Leesburg.
Beer good.
On a personal note, I am currently sipping a glass of Willowcroft 2007 Cabernet Franc bought from the Brambleton Farmers Market this past weekend, and it’s the perfect end to what was a very long day; full bodied and slightly spicy, it delivers a kick and also sings you into relaxation.
True story.
Also on a personal note, I’ll be attending the NoVA Brewfest and you should too! Beer, beer and- oh yea! More beer!
