Last week on the way back from Lynchburg, VA to Charlottesville, VA I stopped in at Rebec Vineyards, which is just north of Amherst, VA.    The vineyard is located in a beautiful setting just off Highway 29 with several acres of vines surrounding the building where tastings are available.

I was albe to speak to Svetlozar Kanev the wine maker, who poured wine for us.    I launched right in to discussions of weather, climate, and wine.   Svet mentioned the vineyard recently experienced hail damage to  their grapes.   I’ve take a picture of the hail damaged vines (picture to be added later).
Rebec  currently offers 14 wines, of which I tasted 9.     They were Chardonnay, Viognier, Landmark White, Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon.    The white wines were definitely on the dry side of the sweetness spectrum and may be well like if you enjoy dry white wines.   Unfortunately,  I tend not to enjoy dry white wines much and found these to be a bit too dry from my preferences. Overall,  none of the wines stood out above the rest, which sometimes happens during a winery visit.
