CAAR Hosted Appraisal Institute Green Certification The Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS® (CAAR) was excited to host the Appraisal Institute Green Certification course, which is a part of the Valuation of Sustainable Builds Professional Development Program, on Monday, April 18th through Thursday, April 21st. Through the efforts of the CAAR Green Fields Project Team, spearheaded by Greg Slater of Nest Realty Group, the project team worked with area partners to subsidize the cost of this training through sponsorships to make these sessions possible. “Charlottesville is a market where green building has taken root,” said Woody Fincham, SRA, Vice President of The Trice Group. “There is a real need for appraisers with this training to help analyze and accurately report the value of green features and high efficiency homes. These classes are the best out there and having Sandra Adomatis, SRA, the foremost expert in sustainable building valuation, was too good of an opportunity to pass up. CAAR did a real service to local real estate by helping bring these classes to the region.” The program sessions were held in the following categories over the fourday period: • Introduction to Green Buildings: Principles & Concepts • Case Studies in Appraising Green Residential Buildings • Residential and Commercial Valuation of Solar This program was announced through CAAR, neighboring REALTOR® associations including the Virginia Area Association of REAL-

TORS®, and through the Appraisal Institute’s National outreach. Appraisers joined the training locally and as far away as Ohio, Florida, and West Virginia, and along the outlying borders of Virginia. Participants who completed the four-day program will be placed on the program’s registry. Completion of this program shows potential clients and employers that appraisers have completed education and passed related course exams in this particular specialized topic. CAAR would like to thank the following program contributing sponsors: Sigora Solar, PEARL, Stanley Martin Homes, Ryan Homes, Craig Builders, Bramante Homes, Peak Builders, Southern Development Homes, First Heritage Mortgage, Echelon Homes, A. Joseph Homes, and Stony Point Build/Design, LLC.

Well not according to Wine Enthusiast, which ranked the Commonwealth as one of the top 10 wine travel destinations in the world in 2012. Not according to Bloomberg News, which in 2015 named Virginia as one of the “next big wine regions.” And not according to The New York Times, Food & Wine, Southern Living, Bon Appétit, and a host of other discriminating national and international rags too long for a simple, sober sentence, which have lauded our wines and touted our beautiful wineries. Everyone knows that Thomas Jefferson tried and failed to produce a drinkable wine here, but what Jefferson couldn’t do Gabriele Rausse (using TJ’s own grape varieties) and many other vintners have been perfecting for awhile now. “Million dollar nose” wine critic Robert Parker’s magazine The Wine Advocate reviewed Virginia wines last year and gave almost 60 of them a score of 90 or greater. Nowadays the Commonwealth is the nation’s fifth largest wine grape producer, with 386 vineyards in 2015 encompassing over 3,446 acres. With 254 wineries, it’s also fifth in the number of wineries. A 2012 economic impact study found that the Virginia wine industry employs more than 4,700 people and contributes almost $750 million a year to the Virginia economy.

The region that frustrated Jefferson is now designated the Monticello AVA, one of six American Viticultural Areas in Virginia. Comprising most of Albemarle, Greene, Orange, and Nelson counties, the area is blessed with fertile, granite-based clay soil and a growing season of over 200 days. Some 30 varieties of grapes flourish here, and Virginia winemakers are especially successful at making Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Vidal Blanc and Viognier. Another grape that’s coming into its own locally is Petit Manseng, according to Michael Davis of the Wine Guild of Charlottesville, a year-old club, open to the public, which sells wine and puts on dinners centered on wine regions around the world. “A lot of our members are Virginia winemakers, and they are excited about it. It’s a grape that is usually grown with success in the Jurançon area in southern France. Other regions have trouble with it because it is extremely acidic, but it works really well in the weather here – it’s tough, so it weathers the storms and the humidity. The fact that we have a really hot climate in the summertime and early fall makes the grape ripen more than it will in other climates, so that sugar balances the acidity. Because they have such high acidity, Petit Mangsengs tend to be done well as dessert wines.”

Not only are Petit Mangsengs are catching on, but Virginia wine sales in general have increased by 26 percent since fiscal year 2010, and almost two percent in 2015, reaching a record level of 524,000 cases of wine, or over 6.5 million bottles last year. Sales at wineries themselves grew by 6.3 percent in 2015, growth which the governor’s office attributed to an increase of visitors and tourists to state wineries and wine events. Virginia wineries have become popular destinations for connoisseurs and curiosity seekers alike, attracting more than 1.6 million tourists in 2014, not just to sample wine, but to socialize and hear good music. Take a look at what’s happening soon.

Albemarle County Blenheim Vineyards was established in 2000 by local rock ‘n roll royalty Dave Matthews on land where Jefferson and his bride Martha once took shelter from a snowstorm. Matthews and master craftsman William Johnson designed the winery building to have minimal impact on the environment.

Friday, May 6 through Sunday, May 8 is Dave Matthews Band concert weekend at Blenheim, as the band plays the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, and Blenheim celebrates with food from Cote Rotie, Blue Ridge Pizza Co., JM Stock Provisions, and Two Brothers Southwestern Grill. Darcy Dawn & Company will play on Sunday afternoon from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. First Colony Winery boasts a 5,000 square-foot Tasting Room and Gift Shop, plus indoor and outdoor seating areas for picnics, group tastings and private parties. This season’s Sunday Sounds series kicks off out on the patio on Sunday, May 15 from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. with Midlife Crisis Band playing country and folk numbers,

plus oldies and originals. The series continues on Sunday, May 29 from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. with local songwriter Jason Burke. Singer songwriter John Kelly plays on Sunday, June 12 from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. Sunday Sounds performances have no cover charge. Chef Terre Sisson of Charlottesville Wine & Culinary will teach classes on how to prepare and enjoy a three-course meal on Sunday, May 22 and Sunday, June 12 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Each meal will be paired with First Colony wines. Tickets are $68.00/person, and must be reserved in advance. The folks at Jefferson Vineyards are making wine on land first planted by Jefferson’s own viticulturist, Philip Mazzei, and in a winery designed in the Palladian architectural style Jefferson loved and used for the Rotunda at the University Of Virginia. Richmond reggae singer Mighty Joshua comes to Jefferson on May 7 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Admission is free. Parking is $3 and carpooling is encouraged. In case of inclement weather, the concert will be held on Sunday, May 8. On the night of June 4, 1781, Captain Jack Jouett rode 40 miles to warn Jefferson of his imminent seizure by Colonel Banastre Tarleton. On land that is now Keswick Vineyards, Tarleton and his men stopped for breakfast – while Jefferson escaped. Almost one hundred years later, in preparation for the Battle of the Wilderness, troops led by Confederate General James A. Longstreet camped on the same land. Keswick’s Eats & Beats series begins on Saturday, May 7 from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m. with music by Showtime Revue and food by the Spice Sea Gourmet. On Saturday, May 14, Paulo Franco will play, and Pomme To Go will sell food. On Saturday, May 21, Koda & Marie from Chamomile & Whiskey will entertain, with food again by from Pomme To Go. On Saturday, May 28 it’s music by Oh Wow Boy!, and food from Two Brothers Southwestern Grill. On Saturday, June 4, it’s music by Sally Rose Band, and food from Spice Sea Gourmet. When David and Ellen King bought their farm in Crozet in 1995 after moving here from Houston, they weren’t thinking about planting a vineyard and opening a winery. All they wanted was 12 flat acres for a polo field. Today they have both – Roseland Polo and King Family Vineyards. Tasting Room visitors are invited to go out in the fields to watch polo each Sunday beginning on Memorial Day and continuing through mid-October, weather and field conditions permitting. Matches are free and begin at 1:00 p.m. Situated on the 150-acre family farm where co-owner Karl Hambsch grew

up, Loving Cup Vineyard & Winery has been making wine the organic way since 2007. Riley, their black and tan hound, has been watching. Loving Cup will celebrate the 10th birthday of its vineyard mascot on Saturday, May 14 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.. A percentage of sales that day will benefit HOWS, a local non-profit that builds and provides doghouses to those who need them.

Greene County At 1,700 ft., family-owned Stone Mountain Vineyards outside of Dyke in Greene County is one of the highest vineyards in all of Virginia, and it’s probably the only one run by its founder and his five granddaughters. Stone Mountain will hold a Spring Open House and release its 2015 Rosé on Saturday, May 14. The John Wyant Band will play.

Louisa County In 1978 in Gum Springs in Louisa County, Lyn and Chuck Peple established Grayhaven Vineyards, now one of the oldest independent commercial vineyards in Virginia. In 1995 they launched their winery. Today Grayhaven produces “Old World” style wines including Pinotage, Marechal Foch, Sauvignon Blanc, Chambourcin, Cabernet Franc, Traminette, and Cayuga. Grayhaven invites the public to bring lawn chairs or picnic blankets, and celebrate Mothers Day on Sunday, May 8 from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The soulful Southern voice of John Tracy will be heard from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. The event is free, but there is a $5 charge for wine tasting. Artisan cheese or cheese and salami plates may be ordered in in advance.

Madison County Nestled at the eastern edge of Shenandoah National Park, in the shadow of Old Rag Mountain and White Oak Canyon, DuCard Vineyards is a “hobby gone wild” for husband and wife owners, Scott and Karen Elliff. DuCard will celebrate Mother’s

hile wine festivals offer wonderful experiences at Central Virginia wineries, some folks find their schedules don’t jibe with specific festival dates and others prefer to explore on their own. For many, visiting a winery can punctuate a day enjoying the outdoors with a hike or bicycle outing. Then too, a winery visit can be a relaxing conclusion to a day of showing visitors around some of our area’s outstanding historical landmarks since wine-making has a long tradition in our region. “Thomas Jefferson, America’s ‘first distinguished viticulturist and great patron of wine and winegrowing, envisioned wines from Virginia standing shoulder to shoulder with the great wines of the world,’ declares the brochure for our region’s Monticello Wine Trail. Mr. Jefferson supported winemaking as early as the 1770s and today, almost 250 years later, Virginia is the 5th largest producer of wine in the U. S. The Monticello Wine Trail, an excellent resource for exploring the re-

gion’s wineries, meanders through the Monticello American Viticulture Area (AVA). According to Virginia’s official travel site, more than half of Virginia’s 2000 vineyard acres grow within the Monticello AVA, which encompasses Charlottesville and the counties of Albemarle, Greene, Orange, and Nelson. An American Viticultural Area is a designated wine-grape-growing region with specific geographic features and boundaries defined by the Alcohol and Tobacco and Trade Bureau which is actually a part of the U.S. Treasury Department. The Monticello AVA, named for Mr. Jefferson’s home, calls itself the Birthplace of American Wine. Its granite-based clay soil is particularly well suited for grapes.

The Wine Trail Wineries along the trail include modest family boutique vintners as well as larger operations. Some are long-established, while new ones join the Wine Trail from time to time. For example, Afton Mountain Vineyards in Nelson County was one of Virginia’s first farm wineries with original

vines planted in the 1970s and Barboursville Vineyards in Orange County was established 40 years ago this year. Much more recently, Loving Cup Vineyard and Winery in Albemarle County became a certified-organic vineyard in 2012—one of only a handful on the East Coast. Visitors will find a wide variety of wines. Look for Chardonnay, Viognier, Cabernet Franc or Sauvignon, Bordeaux, Syrah, Merlot, Riesling, Pinot Noir and others. Not every winery has every varietal, of course, so the individual listings on the Monticello Wine Trail website include each winery’s history and philosophy, what wines are typically available, tasting hours and fees. Most wineries also list policies about children and pets as well as whether groups must make advance reservations. Information also includes the availability of food—from snacks to meals—and if visitors are welcome to bring their own food or picnics. Some wineries offer tours, lodging, private tastings, and wine clubs. At least one has a fenced dog park and another suggests “don’t trust MapQuest.”

Extras Some wineries host gatherings from weddings to baby showers and other special occasions. Many have both indoor and outdoor seating and picnic areas with quiet scenic views. Others offer special events such as musical performances and fundraisers for non-profits For example, each Sunday from May through October, Keswick Vineyards hosts Yappy Hours when local animal

A helpful brochure with a map is available at member wineries and at the Charlottesville/Albemarle Visitors Center adjacent to The Pavilion at the east end of the Downtown Mall. The brochure may also be downloaded from MonticelloWineTrail.com. Using the brochure map, it’s easy to plot an itinerary of adjacent wineries and know which ones might be ideal at a mealtime. For example, northeast of Charlottesville along Route 20, visitors can visit Barboursville Vineyards, Burnley Vineyards, Chestnut Oak Vineyard, Horton Vineyards and Reynard Florence Vineyard. Another cluster, at the foot of the Blue Ridge and within a few miles of each other, are Afton Mountain Vineyards, Veritas Vineyard & Winery, Pollak Vineyards, Cardinal Point Vineyard & Winery, and Flying Fox Vineyard.

Smartphone Convenience The Monticello Wine Trail website is smartphone optimized so it detects when visitors to the website are using a portable device such as a smartphone, tablet, or iPad. It then automatically switches to a different format. “Effective website,” reports one user. “On my smartphone, I simply clicked on ‘find wineries nearby’ and it pulled up a page with the half dozen close to where I was at the time. It included links to each specific winery’s website showing hours, foodie info, and such. The ‘get directions’ link quickly pulled up Google Earth, with directions from my current location to the winery.” This summer, consider combining your outdoor activities with a stop at a Monticello area winery. Or three. n Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Albemarle County near Charlottesville. A recent Mother’s Day found the whole local clan (including five mothers) picnicking and wine tasting at the Jefferson Vineyards.
