The Charlottesville Area Community Foundation (CACF) is pleased to announce $74,000 in grants to twelve local nonprofits working to improve the quality of life in Louisa County. The Community Foundation works with an advisory committee of Louisa community leaders to assist in determining grant recipients in Louisa County. The largest grant was for $20,000 to the Louisa County Resource Council (LCRC) for construction of a new food storage and distribution building. LCRC broke ground on March 18 on the new wing, which will house a new refrigeration unit. The project is expected to be completed by mid-May. Donna Isom, Executive Director states, “The Louisa Resource Council Community Cupboard’s contribution to “Feeding America” has risen to an approximate 1100 families per month. With this grant, LCRC is able to expand its safe food storage space, which will

CACF also established a special CACF Louisa County Earthquake Relief Fund to which donations from private individuals and corporations were added. All of these grants were made in September 2011, before federal and other funds became available.

Growth of a Boutique Industry Virginia soil has clearly justified Jefferson’s confidence. In 1873 local grape growers founded the Monticello Wine Company in Charlottesville, on a hill at the end of Wine Street near Hedge Street. By the time Prohibition shut it down in 1916, it was the largest winery in the South, best known for its Virginia Claret Wine, produced with Norton grapes, which won a major award in 1873 at the Vienna Exposition. In 1904 its wine was used to christen the USS Virginia. It was this success that led to the “Capital of the Wine Belt in Virginia” boast. There are now roughly 230 wineries in Virginia, versus less than 70 ten years ago, and most are small and family-owned. But it’s only in the past 10-15 years, most observers say, that the wine industry here has Virginia Wine continued on pg. 16

rustrated in his efforts to grow grapes suitable for his favorite beverage, Thomas Jefferson surely never dreamed that by the 1870s Charlottesville could dub itself “the Capital of the Wine Belt in Virginia.” A student of European culture and cuisine who labored to bring Old World sophistication to the New, Jefferson thought that America had the “soil, aspect, and climate of the best wine countries.” But the vines Jefferson planted in 1774 with Florentine viticulturist Phillip Mazzei on land adjacent to Monticello were damaged by a rough winter, ravaged by mildew and phylloxera, then trampled by the horses of Hessian soldiers in the British employ, put out to pasture in the vineyards. Despite the backing of George Washington, George Wythe, and the Royal Governor of Virginia, the fledgling Virginia Wine Company came to naught. Though he tried again in 1807, the Founding Oenophile, the man who claimed “good wine is a daily necessity to me,” never produced a decent vintage. Would that TJ could read the January 2013 press release from the office of Governor Bob McDonnell announcing that “sales of Virginia wine reached an all-time high in fiscal year 2012, increasing by just over 1.6 percent from fiscal year 2011,” with Virginia wineries selling almost 485,000 cases of wine. Export sales of Virginia wines grew

by more than 300 percent, driven in significant part by sales to China and the United Kingdom. “Virginia wines continue to be rising stars in the global wine industry,” said Virginia Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry Todd Haymore. “From being named one of the top ten wine destinations in the world by Wine Enthusiast to having our wines served in India, Israel, Sweden, Montreal, London, San Francisco, and New York City, the last fiscal year saw a lot of new recognition and opportunities for the Virginia wine industry.” “I’m incredibly pleased to see that Virginia has set a new all-time high in wine sales,” McDonnell said. “This growth is a testament to our grape growers and winemakers, who are producing worldclass wines. More sales provide more economic development and job creation opportunities, especially for the vineyards, wineries, and the many businesses supporting them, like restaurants and bedand-breakfast establishments, all across the Commonwealth.”

come into its own. “When winemaking came back in Virginia in the 70s most of the wines tended to not be very good,” say Warren Richard and Paul Armstrong of the Virginia Wine Time blog. “There were not a lot of skilled winemakers in the area. In fact most of the wines being made at that time were by people who wanted to grow wine for a hobby.” Thirty years ago, Virginia wine “used to be pretty terrible,” says Robert Harllee, who sells a lot of Virginia wine these days at his Market Street Wineshops in Charlottesville. Harllee credits a number of factors for the improvement, including the Virginia Farm Winery Act, “a big thing that allowed wineries to organize and have a structure,” and state support for an agricultural extension program. “Also, we are in an area that a lot of people want to live in. People who have money look for a place to invest. Wine has a coolness and a hipness factor. Once certain wineries showed that it could be done, it became a more attractive investment for other people.” “It turns out that if you plant in the right place, you can make some pretty good grapes,” Harllee says.

where Jefferson failed and Monticello Wine Company succeeded is now designated the Monticello AVA, one of six American Viticultural Areas in Virginia, of 206 in the entire United States. Comprising most of Albemarle, Greene, Orange, and Nelson counties, the area is blessed with fertile, granitebased clay soil and, despite humid summers, a growing season of over 200 days. Some 30 varieties of grapes flourish here. In 2012 the top five were Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Vidal Blanc and Viognier. “There are excellent wineries in each region of Virginia, but the biggest concentration of the best wines come from Charlottesville,” say the Wine Time guys, noting that local wines frequently win prizes in the annual Governor’s Cup competition. “There are a lot of very good winemakers in that area.” And the burgeoning local wine industry has made the Virginia countryside a destination spot for wine lovers and “agri-tourists” already drawn here for our history.

Upcoming Central Virginia Wine Events Twenty-four wineries will take part in The Montpelier Wine Festival, Saturday May 4 from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.,

Replace Lights

Looking for low cost ways of sprucing up your home and increasing its value? Here are 12 updating ideas that won’t put you in the poor house!

Replace recessed lights in your dining room with a more eye-catching chandelier. If you have a ceiling fan and light, you can also buy replacement fan blades to update the fixture’s look.

Paint

Reframe Your Entry

A fresh coat of paint can work wonders and is one of the least expensive ways to spruce up or completely change the look of the house. Some tips from pros: paint the trim a contrasting color and paint the wall three different shades of the same color. Just painting an accent wall in a small space can make the room come to life.

Replace your tiny front doorknob with a substantial-looking handle-andlock set to give potential buyers the impression that this is a “solid” home. If you have a basic steel front door, you can paint or faux-finish it for more eye appeal.

Dressing up window coverings can go a long way to change the way a room looks. Whether it’s curtains, blinds or shutters, this inexpensive fix can do wonders.

Kitchen For a few hundred dollars, you can replace your kitchen faucet set, add new cabinet door handles and update old lighting fixtures with brighter, more energy efficient ones. If you have more money to spend, give your cabinets a makeover by hiring a re-facing company to remove cabinet doors and drawers, refinish the cabinet boxes and then add new doors and drawers. With a fresh coat of new paint, your cabinets will look like new.

Porch Pick-Me-Ups

New Appliances

Bathrooms Next to the kitchen, the bathroom is the most important room to update. Simple things like a new toilet seat and pedestal sink are easy to install. Replace old, discolored bathroom floors with easy-to-apply vinyl tiles. Re-grout the tile and replace any chipped tiles in the tub and shower. A prefabricated tub and shower surround is less expensive than paying to re-tile walls and refinish an old tub.

Storage

Floors

Add do-it-yourself wire and laminate closet systems to bedrooms, pantries and entry closets to give a more customized look to potential buyers and you a more functional space while you’re still living in the house.

Floors are another area that can give your home a clean, updated look. If your carpets are in good shape and in neutral colors, invest in a professional carpet cleaning. If your carpets are showing their age, cover them with inexpensive area rugs. If you have the budget, switch from carpet to hardwood. It’s not always a good idea to re-carpet a home right before it goes on the market, as oftentimes buyers will want to select their own carpeting before moving in.

Change Room Functions If you have a three-bedroom house and a den, you can turn the den into a fourth bedroom by adding a closet for under $1,500.

Speaking of curb appeal, if you’re fortunate enough to have a front porch, you can make significant changes for less than $500. Add an architectural trim piece in weatherresistant wood or low-maintenance synthetics. Hang some decorative baskets. Span the space above porch stairs with a fancy fretwork spandrel and place shapely corbels under the eaves. Plant two large planters on either side of the front door with foliage colors and blooms that complement each other. Add a splash of color on the porch floor with goodquality exterior paint. You can even add a painted design, such as a faux rug, using stencils. Ceiling fans will add cooling breezes. For privacy, add tall louvered panels, shutters, or lattice panels and bring in fabric panels that draw closed for privacy. For botanical beauty, add a privacy screen consisting of trail flowering vines that grow up lattice panels. While the actual cost and payback for each project can vary depending on your home’s condition and location, these inexpensive facelifts will guarantee satisfaction whether you’re getting ready to sell or just want to spiff it up for your own enjoyment. ■

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

Having a nicely mowed lawn, a few well-placed shrubs and a swept walkway makes a great first impression. If you don’t have a green thumb, hire a landscaper to install new sod, plant a few evergreens and give your front yard a good cleanup. These inexpensive changes will change people’s perception of your home and increase its value.

HOUSE & HOME

Curb Appeal

Window Coverings

While you’re in the kitchen, take a look at your appliances. Do they match? A white dishwasher or microwave mixed with stainless steel or black appliances can throw everything off. Order new door panels or invest in new appliances that will give your kitchen a more cohesive look.
