It’s not uncommon anymore to travel the world and find “wine country” wherever you go. As wine and its appreciation has grown in prominence and popularity, so too has the industry designed to serve it. These days, grapes are planted with breakneck frequency and wine producers are taking root in regions previously better known for corn and wheat. For good or ill, there are wines coming from all parts of the globe. But not all wine regions are created equally. While some are well known, others have reputations still sung by only a few lucky erudite. And some of the lesser-known regions are deserving of mention alongside the names of the great wine-producing regions of the United States.
Few such regions are as noteworthy or ambitious as Virginia.

As a travel writer my tactic for finding the best local flavor has always included accosting residents and prodding them for information—in a friendly way, of course. Living in Napa for six years and writing about wine country for the past decade, I no longer need to ask the staff in Sonoma's tasting rooms or regulars lingering around Sonoma or Healdsburg's squares for their favorite dining experiences.

What to quaff with these salty treats Whatever wise guy once said “some of the best things in life are free” had it all wrong. Most of the best things in life, in my estimation, are just the appositive: cable TV, fabulous vacations, exquisite meals in high-end restaurants and fancy cars are just a few examples of some of the better things in life that are most decidedly NOT free.

When I first moved to Napa Valley I wanted to know one thing: Where do the locals eat? But I wasn't talking about the group of longtimers in my Napa neighborhood that regularly headed to the nearby classic chain restaurants for the early-bird specials. I meant the top toques. They were the serious foodies who on their nights off would travel half way across the valley for the best sashimi or a perfect batch of French fries. I knew if I followed them to the nooks and crannies between the destination restaurants I'd find the best everyday eats with prices to match.
