DC, MD, and VA Wines to Take Home for the Holidays
In a year like no other, many individuals and families across Washington DC, Virginia, and Maryland will be celebrating Christmas a little differently this year; That makes 2020 the perfect time to try a few new traditions!
May we suggest opening a bottle of a local DC area wine this Christmas? Each of these bottles are available directly from a local winery, and all are within a one-hour drive of downtown Washington DC. Why not plan an afternoon road trip to pick up a new-to-you local wine for Christmas dinner, and plan to stop off at one of the area’s many holiday light displays on the way home?
