Focus on the Joy This New Year’s Day

0 1 5 2

by Christine Craddock During the holidays, it seems as though most people get sentimental about family, all the blessings in their lives, and everything they have to be thankful for. But when the new year comes around, sentimental feelings turn to introspective ones and people want to make positive changes to their lives. According to Wikipedia, a new year’s resolution is a tradition in which “a person makes a promise to do an act of self-improvement or something slightly nice, such as opening doors for people beginning from New Year’s Day.” This tradition goes back years and years in many eras of our history. In ancient times, babylonians promised their god to start each year by returning borrowed objects or paying debts. The medieval knights were known to take a vow at the end of the Christmas holiday to reaffirm their commitment to chivalry. The Catholic religion practices Lent, which is more focused on sacrifice, but also encourages reflection about how to be more positive in the coming year. Rabbi Rose Jacob, of the Fauquier Jewish Congregation in Warrenton, says that, in modern terms, the Jewish New Year means that “God hits ‘delete’ and then ‘reboots’ us.” Although it happens during September or October, 6

this period of time of about examining yourself, apologizing to “those we have hurt or wronged” and also reflecting and making a “mental note to not do it again,” says Jacob. The negativity doesn’t carry over to the new year. New Year’s resolutions can be positive motivators but they can also make people concentrate on all the ways they’d like to be different. Maybe this year, it’s time for a new revelation about the new year. Esther Boykin, LMFT, is a marriage and family therapist and CEO of Group Therapy Associates in Haymarket. While a huge aspect to her work is helping people set goals and keep them, she also says that “in the midst of all of our new year resolutions, there is value in appreciating the things that we don’t want to change.” What a refreshing idea. “Whether it is our family relationships, the satisfaction we find in our career, or the joy of watching our children grow, there is much in the coming year that we hope

won’t change,” says Boykin. Instead of focusing on all the things we’d like to change, families are encouraged to set goals for keeping the activities and ideas that already make everyone feel loved and appreciated. That’s not to say that building on these already established concepts isn’t needed or valued, but also reminding friends and family of the wonderful things they do for others and the ways they make others feel can really get someone on the jumpstart to a positive new year. “It’s dangerous to focus so much on improvements that you forget about the joy that already exists in your life,” says Esther. She encourages everyone to begin the new year by thanking those people and displaying gratitude for those relationships that are already “right where you want them to be.” Haymarket Lifestyle

FAMILYFun

Affordable Family Fun This Winter JNJ Battlequest puts you inside the game by Christine Craddock

It’s winter and the kids are stuck inside with “nothing to do” despite the millions of toys and games that have taken over the house. A family that understands how this feels has brought more opportunity for kids to have fun year round, while being active, with the grand opening of JNJ Battlequest in Gainesville. Amanda and Jimmy Mulhern, owners of Jump-N-Jimmy’s in Haymarket, felt that they really hit the mark with their bounce house experience. Since 2009, Jump-NJimmy’s has been a well known place for stay-at-home moms and families alike to gather together and let young children play in a safe, fun environment. With the knowledge they gained from running this business, the Mulherns were inspired to open a place for the older kids to play and insure they don’t feel forgotten or ignored. JNJ Battlequest was created to give these older kids an experience to play laser tag with the whole family while getting all that extra energy out.

JNJ Battlequest owners, Jimmy and Amanda Mulhern

Haymarket Lifestyle

Owning their own business was a true work in progress for years and a “leap of faith” for the Mulherns. They moved to Haymarket in 2002 and realized just how few places there were to take young children to have a fun experience. The love of sports brought together Jimmy Mulhern, a high school football and baseball coach, John Lombardozzi, owner of Signature Companies and baseball coach, and Brian Snyder, of Snyder Baseball academy. This relationship between the three resulted in the creation of the Haymarket Sportsplex. From there, Jump-N-Jimmy’s took shape inside the sportsplex in 2009 and became a popular place for families. With immense gratitude, they attribute their success entirely to “the support

of our local community.” Using the business philosophy that fun should be affordable for families and that making a difference in the community is tantamount, the Mulherns are destined to make their new venture another go-to spot for families in our area to make memories. At JNJ Battlequest, families can choose from a number of different ways to play laser tag. Walk-in play is available during all open hours with game discounts for multiple players. Serious gamers can play all day and

late nighters can play from 8 pm until closing on Friday and Saturday nights. There is also a Kid Zone price for children under 12 which is every Saturday morning from 10 am to 12 pm to give the younger ones a chance to play together. “Battlequest will be the first center in our area to feature the latest HELIOS Tag system,” says Amanda Mulhern, which is the most dynamic laser tag system in the U.S. The players

go into a room with hanging vests and guns ready for action. After arming themselves, they enter the 5,200 square foot arena that was designed by Creative Works, the top arena designer in the country. The arena has 15 targets for players to shoot during game play which earns them more points and also a â&#x20AC;&#x153;mineâ&#x20AC;? that will explode opposing players. Soon even a robot will strike back when targeted. To make even more interactive,

JNJ Battlequestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amenities include an arcade and party rooms.

players can earn special achievements through a global membership and compare their scores to those around the country. It makes kids feel like they are part of a live video game. The music is pumping and kids will be instantly excited to explore and hide behind all the walls and places to position themselves for targeting other players. While the lighting is not all the way dark so as not to be scary for kids, it is dim enough for the neon and fluorescent-designed pieces to glow and enhance the experience. For parents looking for a place to host birthday parties for kids in the winter, JNJ Battlequest offers party rooms with packages that allow all party guests to play together in the game room. The packages include games, pizza, and drinks for party guests with a personal host to make sure things are taken care of while the parents enjoy themselves. The Mulherns are committed to helping to support the local community just as the community has supported them. They welcome organizations, teams, youth groups, and schools to contact them to work together for sponsored events or fundraisers. JNJ Battlequest is located at 13525 Wellington Center Circle, off Wellington Road past the Virginia Gateway shopping center in Gainesville.

Healthy

Creating Healthier Families Health Wise Home incorporates good choices and food fun

round the end of her elementary school years, Sarah Young remembers being overweight but lacking the confidence or knowledge about how to change it. While at a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house, she noticed a book about nutrition, picked it up, and read a little bit. Whatever lines she read made her feel empowered to do something about her weight and overall health. She talked with her mother and the family began to make changes to their eating habits to incorporate more healthy ingredients and less processed foods, while also engaging in more physical activity. The weight dropped off and a lifelong passion for health was discovered in Sarah. Her passion was really invigorated when she became a mother, as she was determined to offer as many healthier choices for her children as possible even as challenging as it seemed. Now a Certified Health Education Specialist, Sarah spends her days taking care of her three children while helping others. In 2012, she started Health Wise Home, in response to people asking her for nutritional advice, which has now almost 4,000 followers on Facebook and over 76,000 hits to her blog. Health Wise Home gives access to a wealth of up-to-date information about health statistics and ingredients in foods while allowing her to reach and educate so many whose situation she understands.

could ask for. Fear of the unknown is what keeps kids from trying new foods sometimes, but Sarah says “if you involve children and make it fun and creative,” you will be more successful at getting kids to eat different foods. However, she advises that eating should not be made into a stressful time, so just trying the food should be the goal. And while it may be difficult, Sarah points out that taking kids along to the grocery store can be a crucial step in helping them to choose their own healthier foods. If parents let the kids pick out which vegetable or fruit they want to eat, it gives the children control and leads to more success in them eating the foods. The importance of healthier eating should be family focused with the ultimate goal of building a solid foundation on which to build a lifestyle around health. Here are some tips from Sarah for improving the overall health of your family: 1. Drink more water. One of the easiest ways to improve your overall health is to increase your water consumption on a daily basis. By doing so, you can help your body naturally detoxify, fight infection, improve circulation, increase productivity, boost energy levels, reduce your risk of cancer, prevent joint pain and arthritis, and facilitate weight loss.

Sarah points out the huge generational divide when it comes to foods that were served in our own childhoods as opposed to parents today who are starting to buy less processed foods. It’s a gradual process, she says and there are ways parents can begin slowly as to not feel overwhelmed by a complete overhaul, which is just not realistic. There is also a lack of education, where some parents are not aware of what is in the foods that are being served to their children. Mostly, Sarah is passionate about starting healthy choices with children early in life, which she says leads to an overall

healthier lifestyle in adulthood. This past year, she approached Haymarket Baptist Preschool and Kindergarten about hosting a class for kids to learn how to cook healthy foods. Haymarket Baptist offered her class as an enrichment option for kindergartners. Once a week, Sarah has 11 children in the kitchen with her, learning how to prepare foods together in a positive environment. Most of the children begin class by saying that whatever the class is preparing is something they won’t like. However, by the end, every child tries it, which she says is the best thing she

2. Start reading ingredient labels. While a product’s nutrition label does contain valuable information, the best indicator of how highly processed a food is can actually be found in the list of ingredients. Before you buy any type of packaged food, examine the ingredient label. If the product contains items that you are unfamiliar with (and not able to pronounce)—items that you cannot buy individually at the store, like high-fructose corn syrup or Red #40—then you are better off not consuming it. Instead, opt for products with a short list of ingredients, or better yet, replace them with whole foods.

3. Increase your consumption of whole foods. Begin adding in more foods that are a product of nature, not a product of industry, especially vegetables and fruits. By doing so, you will naturally start to crowd out some of the processed foods that were in your diet and you will simplify your food selection process. If you are focused on selecting and consuming whole foods, there is no need to count calories, fat grams, or carbs. 4. Ditch the refined sweeteners and refined grains: Avoid food products that contain refined sweeteners (sugar, any form of corn syrup, cane juice, and artificial sweeteners like Splenda) and refined grains (white flour, white rice), especially if they are listed among the top three ingredients. Instead, look for healthier whole food options and use natural sweeteners like raw local honey and pure maple syrup.

5. Get moving! Wouldn’t you like to improve your mood, boost your energy levels, reduce your risk of developing cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke, and prevent excess weight gain or facilitate weight loss? It is hard to ignore the many benefits of becoming physically active, and in as little as about 20 minutes per day (or 150 total minutes per week), you can drastically improve your overall health and well being. Pick an activity that you enjoy (taking a walk, going for a hike, playing tag with your kids) and find ways to regularly incorporate it into your lifestyle. And large blocks of time are not required. As long as you are participating in physical activity at a moderate or vigorous effort for at least 10 minutes at a time, you can still enjoy the benefits of being active.

ORGANIZED in 2015

There aren’t many people who have the courage to stop working a profession they studied years for to take a chance on living out a dream. That’s what Kristin Long, founder and CEO of Organizational Specialists in Haymarket, did to satisfy her life-long passion for organizing. Since starting the company in 2004, Kristin has found that “there is nothing more rewarding than helping others live happier, healthier lives by organizing their homes and places of business.” She even had the opportunity to be featured in HGTV’s show Mission Organization, which ran from 2005 to 2007. The experience gave Kristin the realization that, no matter if it’s a one-bedroom

apartment or a huge estate, “everyone likes to live in a healthy, organized environment” even though this may look different to each person. “It’s not about perfection, but purpose,” she says. Not only does an organized home and workspace make things easier for your daily life, it also may help you feel better emotionally. And even though people realize that organizing their home may help them, they also can feel very overwhelmed and cannot make the commitment to declutter. Kristin says that “feeling overwhelmed is a common

Organizational Specialists will show you how or do it for you

thread with most clients, when asked why they felt they needed a professional organizer.” And how many people open the door to the room that needs the most help, then simply close it and walk away because they don’t know where to start? Kristin says “all it takes is one step to begin moving in the right direction.” At the beginning of the new year, families can start out fresh by simplifying and organizing their homes. Organizing three small areas can have a huge impact on your new year. Here are Kristin’s tips for where to start.

ENTRYWAY

This might not seem a likely place to start but when your entryway is organized, it helps you begin your day on the right foot and makes it easier to relax when you come home. Every home has different needs but I like to include space for keys, backpacks/purses, coats, and shoes. Even if your entryway is small you can always go vertical with 3M Command hooks.

FILING SYSTEM

Paper management is key when trying to stay organized and a good filing system is a must. This might seem a daunting task but when you start with the incoming items first and then gradually catch up with previous piles, you will find tax time a much simpler experience.

PANTRY

One of the quickest projects to complete, organizing your pantry makes finding food quick and easy which translates into time for more important things. The best way to organize the pantry is by removing everything from the shelves and sorting into categories as you go: grains, baking supplies, breakfast, drinks, snacks, canned goods, sauces, spices, paper products, etc. Think of your pantry as your own personal grocery store. Then, based upon your needs, put items back into the pantry using every available space, including the doors if necessary. Go to organizationalspecialists. com to learn more about the services offered and find out about Kristin’s techniques for stress reduction through organization. Once contacted, Kristin promises to “work with my clients to create a lasting, long-term solution to their situation, not just a quick fix.” She will meet with clients to determine their goals and timeframes for the project’s completion and their individual budget. Then she will set up an appointment to begin work.

An organized pantry can make all the difference between stressful meal prep and relaxing family time. Create your own grocery store by grouping like items together. Use every available space including doors to free up shelving space.

Kristin Long is the founder and CEO of Organizational Specialists, Inc., a full-range professional organizing services company based in northern Virginia and a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers since 2004.

CIRCLING THE DRAIN? by Colby Schreckengost BS, MS, CPT

Not long ago at friend’s party, I met a really nice lady and we struck up a good conversation about life and business. Although I didn’t ask, I guessed her age to be approximately fifty-five. She explained that she was in the real-estate business and doing very well. She asked what I did for a living and the conversation soon turned from selling homes to how depressed she is for “letting herself go” and being 50 pounds overweight. As she told it to me, “I think my time has passed for being in great shape; I’m too busy with work and family. My doctor tells me I need to start exercising and lose weight. But he can keep writing the prescriptions for my elevated blood pressure and high cholesterol.” Now I could tell my new friend was not feeling good about herself. I felt like she was “circling the drain” and needed help, and I wanted desperately to help her. But, what I was going to say to her to convince her that getting her health back is possible? What was really going to ignite her to do something for herself? During our initial conversation, I convinced her to meet me at my facility and go through a series of questions that I always ask new clients. This is an example of some of the questions we ask: Why? In order to make a lifestyle change you have to have a reason. Sit down and write it out. Do you want to be more productive at work? Do you 22

want to live long enough to see your child get married? Do you want to play with your grandkids? Do you want to travel and stay active in the second half of your life? It all starts with why? WRITE IT DOWN! Are you interested in making the change or are you desperate? People that are interested usually stick with a new lifestyle just a few weeks. Desperate people are generally really determined to make a lasting change. WRITE IT DOWN! “I am desperate!” What are you willing to give up? Your nightly glass or 2 of wine? Dessert after every meal? Sleeping until 8am or later when you could be exercising at 6am? Socializing with friends you love but you know are bad influences on you? What are you willing to give up? WRITE IT DOWN! Can you do it on your own? Most people need help and they’ve tried every diet and gym they possibly knew and have failed. Is it time to seek a professional and are you willing to invest in yourself to pay for it? Let’s be honest, we all hate to waste money, but look at it this way: The average person spends $70/week on habits that make them fat, so why aren’t they willing to invest that same amount in getting healthy? (Our 12-week challenge is less than $60/ week). Sometimes investing the money in your health can motivate us more than the doctor! Determine what Haymarket Lifestyle

your health is worth and WRITE IT DOWN! Who will hold you accountable? The number one factor in the success of a positive lifestyle change is accountability. As my friend and fitness expert Mike Boyle says, “Nutrition is easy, compliance is hard.” I love that statement because it’s so true. You can read a thousand articles and become an expert on nutrition. But complying with food restrictions

and new exercise routines requires compliance, and that only happens with accountability. Who will hold you accountable? WRITE THEIR NAME DOWN (your trainer, your gym, your spouse, etc.)! What is your biggest obstacle to achieving your goals? Money? Time? Motivation? We choose what to spend our money on. Do you really need a bigger flat screen TV, a new Lexus or do you need to lose 50 pounds? We also choose how to budget our time. Schedule your workouts on your calendar; make them an important part of your life. Answer these questions because the only one that can truly motivate you is YOU! WRITE IT DOWN! What phrase will you use to motivate yourself when you don’t want to do it? I love the phrase “Why not me?” I recently printed a couple of these signs for a few of my athletes that are trying to reach the Olympic Level in swimming and needed more self-confidence, but it applies to all of us. Someone is going to wear a size 10 instead of a size 16, why not you? Someone my age is going to have a great doctor’s appointment in 6-months. WHY NOT ME? Other phrases or mottos like: “Never going to stop,” “Stay after it” “Persistence” “Win the Day!” “For my kids!” You make up your own mantra and WRITE IT DOWN! If you’re struggling and need help, start with answering these questions and review them often. Then, find a way to make it happen! I am happy to report that after 2 years, my new friend and client lost those 50 pounds and still going strong. There are lots of stories like hers out there. WHY NOT YOU!? Why not rewrite your story in 2015? Don’t resign yourself to “circling the drain!” Invest your time and money into something that will truly improve your life! We only get one shot at life, don’t let yours go down the drain!

Don’t Overlook Tax Changes and Opportunities

by Priscilla and Ed Meyerson

Don’t give up hope that Congress may, between our writing this article and you reading it, have fixed the problem. What problem? Well, the more than fifty tax provisions which, unless Congressional action extends them, will expire and not apply to your 2014 taxes. Extenders come in three flavors: business, personal and charity. The most important extenders for small to mid-sized businesses are the Section 179 expensing election, the 50% bonus depreciation, the health insurance premium credit, and the small business stock sale gain exclusion. Without Congressional action, the ability to expense (i.e. to write off in the current tax year) capital purchases of new or used equipment, which normally have to be written off over time, will revert to a maximum of $25,000 per year and phase out for capital purchases over $200,000. The proposed extension restores the previous $500,000 amount and restores the phase out to purchases over $2,000,000. The Section 179 election is only available to a company which is profitable; however, bonus depreciation is available for all capital purchases of new equipment and may be used to generate losses which could be used be shelter other income. Under expired law, gains on

qualified small business stock have been 100% exempt from capital gains. Congress has expressed its willingness to extend most of the expired business provisions but it has also expressed reluctance regarding some of the expired personal provisions. Among the provisions most likely to affect individuals are the deductibility of mortgage insurance premiums; the child tax credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit (both scheduled to expire in 2017 but proposed to be made permanent); the $250 abovethe-line educator deduction; the abovethe-line tuition deduction (when you are not eligible for the American Opportunity or Hope Credit); the credit for energy efficient appliances; and energy efficient improvements to existing homes including furnaces, windows and insulation. The improving economic environment has reduced the number of individuals who can benefit from the exclusion of up to $2 million of discharged principal residence indebtedness from gross income, but the exclusion is expiring as well. Congress’ reluctance to include some of these extenders, applicable to individuals, has resulted in the President threatening to veto any bill which does not include them. Many of these credits and deductions

phase out for high income taxpayers but are important to middle income taxpayers. On the charity front, the provision to permit IRA owners over 70½ years of age to contribute up to $100,000 in a direct transfer to a public charity, and not have to report the income, has also expired. This deduction also qualified as applicable to your required minimum distribution. Meanwhile, do whatever you can to reduce your 2014 taxes or improve your financial situation. Accelerate deductions and defer income if you can. Many expenses can only be deducted if they exceed a percent of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). Bunch the deductions, by accelerating into this year or deferring into next year. Make sure to review any ROTH conversions. If the value of the account has dropped, you can reconvert and reduce your tax bill. You can reconvert up to the due date of the return, including extensions, which is October 15. Finally, make your retirement plan contributions as early as possible so that the money has the maximum time to grow tax free. Think, plan, act... because you care enough to send the very least!

History

The Ewell Families of Haymarket Maude Ewell’s writings provide interesting insights into the past by John T. Toler

ALICE MAUDE EWELL 1860-1946 Alice Maude Ewell (1860-1946) was a member of the fourth generation of her family to live in the Haymarket area. A local author, she was known all her adult life as “Miss Maude.” It was said “…few were as conversant as she with Prince William County history.” Miss Maude is best known for her book, A Virginia Scene, or Life in Old Prince William, published in 1931. It is 34

actually two books in one: the history of her family from pre-Revolutionary days, and a detailed account of life in western Prince William County in the years after the Civil War. She shares many thoughts about people and places now long gone. Long before coming to Prince William, the Ewell family could claim deep roots in Virginia and Maryland, and both branches can be traced back to their native Scotland. Miss Maude describes these relationships in detail in A Virginia Scene. On Miss Maude’s father’s side, Charles Ewell (1665-1722) came to Virginia in 1699 to build the capitol in Williamsburg. He was married to Mary Ann Bertrand (1670-1750), and settled in Lancaster County. Their son, Maj. Charles Ewell (1713-c.1756), was a successful businessman and tobacco broker in Dumfries. In 1741, he built Bel Air, near Woodbridge, on the ruins of an old English fort dating back to the 1670s. His son, Col. Jesse Ewell (17431805) inherited Bel Air, and was the father of Jesse “Squire” Ewell (17721847). Squire Ewell was a merchant in Dumfries, and a sheriff and justice in Prince William County. He was married to Mildred Beale (1775-1846). Their oldest son (and Miss Maude’s

grandfather) was Dr. Jesse Ewell (18021897), an 1826 graduate of Columbia College in Washington, D.C. On her mother’s side, Miss Maude begins with her great-great-grandfather, Maj. Alexander Magruder, who was an officer in the army of Charles II. He was also a member of the MacGregor Clan, which was outlawed in 1617, and the name “MacGregor” banned by an Act of the Scottish Parliament. Maj. Magruder was brought to Maryland in late 1651 as a prisoner of war following the Battle of Worcester, England, which marked the final defeat of the Royalists by Oliver Cromwell’s Parliamentarians. Once freed, Maj. Magruder remained in Maryland, where he became a prominent citizen and large landowner. For generations, the Magruders lived in Prince George’s County at “Dunblane,” and other estates nearby. Miss Maude’s great-grandfather, John Smith Magruder (d. 1825), lived at “Grampian Hills” in Prince George’s County, and married Eleanor Hall Clarke. John and Eleanor were the parents of Ellen Magruder (18001890), later Miss Maude’s beloved grandmother. The laws banning the MacGregor Clan were repealed in 1774, but it wasn’t until 1816 that the Maryland Haymarket Lifestyle

Haymarket Lifestyle

Bel Air, near present-day Woodbridge, was the home of patriarch Charles Ewell (1665-1722). Preserved and updated after this photo was taken in 1948, it is now the home of County Supervisor Chairman-at-Large Corey Stewart and his wife Maria.

‘Squire’ Ewell built Edge Hill, a large, three-bay house, in 1830. It was inherited by grandson John S. M. Ewell in 1847, and was the family home until the last surviving child, Charlotte Isabel Ewell, died in 1959. (RELIC).

Since she was just a child during the war years, Miss Maude extensively quoted her aunt, Miss Eleanor Mildred Beale Ewell, in A Virginia Scene. As the nation moved toward Civil War, members of the Ewell family lined up behind the Southern cause. In April 1865, Miss Maude’s uncle Albert, who was in business in Washington, D.C., left the city and joined the “Washington Volunteers,” in the 7th Regiment of Infantry under Gen. James L. Kemper, CSA. “About this time, the ladies of our neighborhood began to be very busy making uniforms for our soldiers,” according to Miss Eleanor. “With my sister-in-law, Mrs. Alice Ewell, I went to Evergreen, the home of Col. Edmund Berkeley, to assist in this work.” John Ewell had briefly gone to Texas. He returned home and joined the division headed by his uncle, Confederate Gen. Richard S. Ewell, serving as the Quartermaster’s Assistant. The first inkling of war was the arrival of a family friend, William Slade, and his daughters, who sought refuge at Edge Hill after Union troops raided his home in Langley, Va. Later, a column of Confederate soldiers from South Carolina stopped by the Ewell compound and enjoyed fresh cherries and buttermilk before moving on. Albert returned home in mid-summer on an illness furlough, and was in Haymarket on July 21, 1861, when the First Battle of Manassas was raging nearby. When the battle was over, Albert rejoined his regiment in Manassas. “My father, my eldest brother, Mr. Slade and many of our friends and neighbors went to the battlefield the next day,” recalled Miss Eleanor. “On returning they had tales of things they had seen and heard.” Wounded and dead from both sides were lying on the battlefield, and the civilians coming to the scene rendered what assistance they could. St. Paul’s at Haymarket was taken over as a hospital, and services held at Ewell’s Chapel. The winter of 1861-62 was relatively quiet, except for the clearing of a nearby summit on the Bull Run Mountains

for a signal station called “Warburton’s Field.” By the spring of 1862, Confederate forces had moved out of the area, and the family was notified that Albert had been killed on May 6, 1862, while leading a charge during the Battle of Williamsburg. Early that summer, John Ewell returned from Richmond on medical leave, and was home in August, when the armies clashed at the Second Battle of Manassas. It was a Confederate victory, but a costly one. “Our cousin, Gen. Richard Stoddert Ewell, was badly wounded and carried to Auburn, the home of Mr. Arriss Buckner, six miles from Dunblane,” according to Miss Eleanor. “My father went to see him, and found that his leg had been amputated. He was too weak to be moved to our house, though my father wished it.” Later, Gen. Ewell was brought to Dunblane, where it was believed he would be safer. “I remember well the maimed figure on the litter, covered with a sheet, and the pale haggard face upon the pillow. The keen blue eyes were, however, wide open, and seemed to note everything.” Two days later, Gen. Ewell’s brothers – Col. Benjamin S. Ewell and Rev. William Stoddert – joined him at Dunblane, and soon afterward, his bodyguard of cavalry arrived. When it was learned that the Confederate forces had left the area and that Union troops were returning, Gen. Ewell was loaded on a litter and hastily moved west through Hopewell Gap toward Kinloch. From there, he was carried south to the Confederate lines. Late that night, Union troops came to Dunblane and searched the house. It would be the first of many such incidents the Ewells would suffer. “Official” searches were conducted by an officer and were usually done in an orderly fashion; “unofficial” searches were nothing more than raids, when Union soldiers showed up and took whatever they wanted. One moonlit night, a group of Union cavalry rode up to Dunblane, and while some were in the field loading corn, others were gathering up the remaining sheep and turkeys,

“beheading the last with their swords,” recalled Miss Eleanor. Two soldiers entered the house, where one went to the kitchen and drank milk from a crock, and stuck his fingers into jars of newly made preserves. Other than the frequent raids, the winter and spring of 1862-63 were marked by an uneasy calm. That ended on June 22, 1863, when Union infantry and cavalry conducted an unsuccessful ambush of Capt. John S. Mosby’s Rangers at Ewell’s Chapel. The ambush took place at the chapel because Union officers suspected Dr. Ewell had been helping Mosby, and had heard that the rangers would be coming there. After the smoke cleared and Mosby had escaped, a Union officer appeared at the front door of Dunblane, and arrested Dr. Ewell. He was taken first to the Union encampment at Aldie, before being marched on foot to “a close and filthy jail” in Alexandria. From there he was confined briefly on a prison barge in the Potomac, and then taken to the Old Capitol Prison in Washington. The Ewells contacted prominent family and friends in Washington and Baltimore, and managed to get Dr. Ewell released, but under strict and mostly ridiculous terms. He borrowed a horse and made his way home. As the war dragged on to its conclusion, there were still Union raids at home and battles fought elsewhere. John Ewell returned to Edge Hill in the spring of 1864, and that fall, he was

captured during a Union raid. Miss Maude, then just three years old, witnessed the incident. Before the Union raiders entered the house, her father hid beneath the planks of the kitchen floor. However, just as they were leaving, one soldier noticed the cracks in the floor, and began thrusting his saber between the crevices. Rather than die under the floor, John surrendered, and was taken to the Carroll Prison in Washington, D.C. “Again our relatives in Washington proved valuable friends,” said Miss Eleanor. “He came home after Christmas, and from that time on, we began to see the beginning of the end.” Indeed, the defeat soon became a grim reality, and the aftermath a continuing struggle. Many of the young men who went off to war never returned, and those who did found their farms and homes in ruins. Finding work nearly impossible. The only solution was to seek their fortunes elsewhere, and as a result, many of the women left behind ended up as spinsters. After the war, Ewell’s Chapel fell into disrepair, and in 1884 was sold by the Methodists to St. Paul’s. It was renamed Grace Chapel, and the building extensively renovated as “… an Episcopal Chapel of Ease for our historic Parish Church.” A talent discovered For Miss Maude, reading became an early passion – as well as an escape from reality. Walter Scott and Robert

Louis Stevenson were among her favorite authors, and she often read with her siblings and other children. “There we were, further off – away from the gloom of defeat, from poverty and pain,” she wrote in A Virginia Scene. “It was better for us.” By the time Miss Maude was in her early 20s, she had honed her writing skills to the point that she was ready to share her work with others. Her first literary effort to be published was a poem that appeared in Peterson’s Magazine in 1883, and was followed over the next ten years by nine more poems and 27 stories. Other publications included Atlantic Monthly (nine fictional stories), St. Nicholas (a children’s magazine, four poems and six stories), Godey’s Lady’s Book (one story and one poem). She wrote a fictional historical narrative entitled A White Guard to Satan, and “The Heart of Old Virginia,” a poem celebrating the 300th anniversary of James City County, which was illustrated by Sue B. Alrich, of Haymarket. Much more happened in Miss Maude’s life during the 20th century, but not all was good. Her mother Alice died in 1910, and the following year, Dunblane burned. The house was rebuilt, patterned after the original structure. Miss Maude’s father John S. M. Ewell died in 1918, and was eulogized by George Carr Rounds in the March 7, 1918 edition of the Manassas Journal. Active and outgoing, Miss Maude

Grace Chapel, as it appeared in the 1920s. The church was acquired by St. Paul’s Episcopal Church of Haymarket in 1884, and used until 1963.

In 1917, the chapter built the Bull Run Memorial Chapel at Hickory Grove, and held their monthly meetings there for many years. Proud of her Scottish heritage, Miss Maude was a charter member of the American Clan MacGregor Society. Miss A. Maude Ewell died at Edge Hill on June 25, 1946. While she had been attending services at Grace Chapel, her funeral was held at St. Paul’s by Rev. W.F. Carpenter, assisted by Rev. D. C. Mayers. Burial was in the church cemetery, rather than the family cemetery at Edge Hill. Miss Maude was survived by her brother Albert and three sisters, Misses Charlotte Isabel, Jennie and Mary.

(1836-1959), inherited the Ewell properties. Unfortunately, following her death in 1959, her 305-acre estate was tied up in court for more than two decades. During that time, all of the structures on the property, including Dunblane and Edge Hill, were neglected, and fell into ruin. Defiled by vandals and squatters, Edge Hill burned in 1980; Dunblane was lost a year later, when the legal issues were settled. After Rev. J. Manly Cobb conducted the last service at Grace Chapel in 1963, the fell into disuse. Like the other vacant properties once owned by the Ewells, it deteriorated and was vandalized. “In 1973-74, an unsuccessful effort was made by a group in Prince William County to rescue the chapel from almost sure demolition,” according to the survey done on the chapel for the Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission in 1978. “A fund-raising

campaign netted over $2,000 of the estimated $9,000-$10,000 needed to repair the structure.” It simply wasn’t enough. Because of the hazardous condition of the building and the liability issues, it was decided that it should be demolished, and salvageable parts sold. The small plot of land on which it stood was also sold. Later, an historical marker was placed near the site. Today, the old Ewell property is bordered on the east by Loudoun Drive (or Rt. 615, a segment of the Old Carolina Road), on the west by the Bull Run Mountains, and bisected by Largo Vista Road. Several fine homes on large lots have been built on the historic land. The Prince William Historical Commission republished A Virginia Scene in 1991. It is available from the Prince William County Planning Office, along with reprints of many other rare local histories. For information, call (703) 792-7615.

Beat

Splash! by Emily Balog, Brandon Hoagland, and Theo Key Battlefiled High School

Some people underestimate swimming as a sport. Swimming requires a lot of hard work and strength. The upcoming freshmen at Battlefield High School have a lot of potential, for a promising team. Head coach, Jay Thorpe, and assistant coaches, Kara Moser and Donny Marszalek, work hard to make the team as successful. The swimmers’ opinions of the coaches are very positive; they clearly like the coaching style as well as the coaches themselves. Coach Thorpe “knows what he is doing and connects with the swimmers [very well],” says sophomore Thomas Muldowney. Coach Thorpe is honored to be working with the swimmers on the team. “In 2010, I took over as the head coach and didn’t really know what to expect. From the first day and ever since, I have been very impressed and proud of the members of our teams. Each year we graduate outstanding young adults and it is great to be part 40

of that. I enjoy sharing my knowledge of swimming and it is rewarding to see swimmers improve throughout the season. I believe our future is only getting brighter and I am really looking forward to the season starting,” says Coach Thorpe. Senior Lauren Reheuser says, “[the] coaches are really good at making sure everybody knows their times and what they are supposed to be doing during practice.” The swimmers all seem to really like their coaches and believe that, with the coaches’ help, they will succeed during this season. There are many differences between swim team and other sports. Swim team is not a particularly recognized sport. The head coach of the team does not teach at the school. And, the school does not have a pool, so the team does not practice at school or have meets at the school. Last year, the Bobcats took third overall at districts and had one state

photos by Audrey Schroeder swimmer, John Buggy, in the 100-meter butterfly. The team hopes to be even better this year with Buggy returning, as well as other notable swimmers such as Nihar Bhat, Evan Brandt, Brandon Hoagland and Alex Medovar from the boys team, and Stephanie Reheuser and Heather Mcintosh from the girls team, who all made regionals last year for the Bobcats. Sophomore Stephanie Reheuser says, “the amount of teamwork is very good, but it is an individual sport so your performance depends on yourself.” Even though swimming is an individual sport, the swimmers are on a team and have to work together to defeat their rivals. “There’s a very good social aspect of it and [swimming] is hard, but I love it,” says sophomore Gabby Bostetter. Swimming takes a lot of time and effort. Some swimmers wake up at 3:30 a.m. to practice before school. Then, after school, they swim for another one to two hours! The swimmers really seem to love the sport and enjoy making friends on the tight-knit team. Hopefully, they are headed towards a successful season. Haymarket Lifestyle

Soundbox Fitness in Haymarket Inspires Since the time she was a little girl, Maria Miller, owner and founder of Soundbox Fitness in Haymarket, loved to dance but even more than that, she loved seeing other people dance. When she began teaching Zumba classes at a local gym, she felt like she had found her calling in life. However, she began to feel like the connections she was making with the women in her Zumba classes were leading her down a different path. Oftentimes she would find herself and these women talking in the parking lot after class as a sort of therapy after workout. After mentioning her desire to teach Zumba in a more intimate, comfortable setting, her husband Ryan encouraged her to ‘go for it’. When she began to look for space to open her own business, the location where Soundbox Fitness now lives seemed to be exactly what she was looking for. The natural light streaming in from the windows with the view of the mountains, the location of small town Haymarket, and the size of the space was where she could envision creating her cozy room for her clients to connect with one another in a way that is just not possible in more corporate gyms. She and her husband designed the decor using natural elements and soothing tones, making it feel less intimidating than a gym. Maria says music, an important aspect in her classes, sets the mood, 42

creates energy and excitement, and gets people moving. And since the room the classes are in resembles the shape of a box, Soundbox Fitness was the name that fit. When it comes to fitness, Maria says “it’s doesn’t matter what you look like; it matters how you feel. When your mind is right, everything falls into place.” The goal of Soundbox Fitness is to offer classes in a cozy environment where clients connect with one another to create community. Soundbox Fitness is “not a place to be intimidated or judged.” It’s a family atmosphere where people of all shapes and sizes are welcomed and made to feel comfortable. The classes, while designed to inspire fitness, are also created as a place for busy people

to talk, relax, and take a breather. Maria even feels that by not offering childcare, it forces busy moms to leave the kids home for an evening alone to unwind with other moms. Maria’s Zumba class is hard to witness without wanting to jump in and dance along. She is passionate, vibrant, enthusiastic, and encouraging. The music is pumping and the fun is flowing. What better way to get into shape than by hiding it in a dance party? The class is high-energy and designed to make clients feel like they are having fun rather than working out. While Maria’s passion is Zumba, because “it takes you to another level,” she wanted to offer a variety of classes that not only get clients in shape but gives them an experience that lifts them up on an emotional level as well. Barre classes offer a full body workout

using targeted muscle movements with techniques infused from ballet, Pilates, and Yoga. Piloxing burns maximum calories while building muscles and increasing stamina using boxing and Pilate techniques while dancing. TRX Suspension Trainer uses bodyweight and gravity to perform exercises with each person controlling their own resistance. The classes are taught by well-trained and certified instructors who share Maria’s passion and fitness philosophies. Owning her own business is a dream that Maria is living to the fullest. However, it’s also important for her to support her community in any way she can. When she was approached by Lorena’s Red Wagon, a charity dedicated to supporting victims of domestic violence, about hosting a fundraiser event, Maria and other local Zumba instructors turned Soundbox Fitness into a dance club. The event had a huge turnout and all proceeds went to the charity. Maria is proud to host these types of events and encourages organizations to contact her to work together in the future. Anyone looking to start the new year by working on your body while nourishing your soul should contact Soundbox Fitness. Clients will experience a cozy, welcoming atmosphere owned by someone who is passionate about connecting with others. Soundbox Fitness is located at 15125 Washington Street in Suite 200 which is the floor above Cupcake Heaven in the back of the building. To learn more about the classes, go to soundboxfitness.com or call 571248-1199.

Burapa

THAI

Successful Restaurateur Spices Up Haymarket

he term Burapa refers to the Eastern side of Thailand, where visitors can see the Thai Ocean and the beautiful beaches. Prat Uthes, owner of Burapa Thai in Haymarket, was born there and learned to cook at age 7. She came to the U.S. as a student and attained her Masters degree in business. She quickly learned that the entrepreneur way of life was what she was made for and opened her first restaurant in 2003. Her sixth restaurant venture is the Haymarket location of Burapa Thai. Haymarketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth was something Uthes watched and sought out before finding the corner space at the Trading Square shopping center with the wall of natural light and view of the mountains. She was also aware of the demographic of people who work in DC, and therefore have discovered a love of Thai food from DC restaurants, but lack Thai food availability in Haymarket. Burapa Thai is somewhere in between a casual restaurant and high-class fast food. Customers order at the counter and then service themselves by picking up the food, making their own drink, and getting their own silverware and seasonings. The restaurant is simple and clean in design, reminiscent of nature with the leaf upholstery, wood tables, and plants throughout. The food at Burapa is made from scratch with all natural ingredients, including no added MSG. Nothing is pre-cooked; each dish is made to order by chef Nathan Chhour, who has been cooking for 20 years after being trained in New York. Uthes feels that her restaurant offers a healthier form of Thai food; she also offers gluten free dishes to accommodate those customers. Appetizers include dumplings, shrimp, crispy rolls, calamari, and satay, which is Thai barbeque chicken with peanut and cucumber sauce. Then there are original Thai starters, like Larb Gai - ground chicken with onions, scallions, and Thai herbs in lime dressing - as well as salads like the special Burapa salad that mixes fresh cabbage, tomatoes, string beans, and carrots with lime dressing. Along with soups, the menu offers a few different noodle and rice entrees but Haymarket Lifestyle

perhaps the standout being the Pad Thai - labeled as “the best in town.” For a unique meal experience, diners can choose to order a Thai box that includes 5 different portions including Larb Gai, Spring Roll, Burapa Salad, and Japanese dumplings with a choice of main entree - pad thai, fried rice, drunken noodle, panang curry, or kaprow. Uthes says the Thai box is

one of the most popular choices by customers. On top of all those delicious entrees, Burapa delights with their sushi menu. The menu includes rolls of California, spicy tuna, spicy salmon, shrimp tempura, spider, chicken teriyaki, veggie, and the ever popular Haymarket roll. This special roll is a delicious blend of cream cheese,

avocado, cucumber, and salmon that is deep fried to create a unique texture of crispy outside and tender inside. Spicy mayo sauce is drizzled on top to give it that kick of flavor. Catering to the lover of spicy food, Burapa Thai allows each customer to choose their own level of spiciness - American hot, Thai hot, and John hot. The term John hot is named after one of Uthes’ loyal customers who has been visiting her restaurants since the first one opened. He always asks for the spicy level of his food to be 3 times that of the regular spicy level so she named Burapa’s most spicy level after him. For a unique dining experience, visitors can stop in Burapa Thai, located at 6448 Trading Square which is in the Walmart shopping center at the corner of Route 15 and 55. To view the menu and learn more, go to burapathai.com or call 703-753-0999.

FURRY FRIENDS

, y b Ba

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cold Outside! Keeping your creature companions safe and warm this winter

ith colder months approaching, it is important to consider the needs of our four-legged, finned and feathered companions during the winter. Changes in housing, care and emergency preparedness will lead to a stress-free and safe season.

Woofs in the Winter

With a great variety of breed types, it is important to consider the needs of individual dogs throughout the winter. Nordic and working breeds will cherish the colder weather, whereas snub-nosed dogs and those bearing less fur will have more difficulty with the change in climate. With dogs spending time both indoors and out, here are a few things to consider:

by Charlotte Wagner

Ensure your dog is warm on walks, when outside to play, and on bathroom breaks. Consider the use of a sweater, coat or blanket to serve as a barrier for the cold. Many short-haired breeds are more prone to heat loss than those with lush, dense, water-resistant coats. Make sure to identify signs of hypothermia such as violent shivering, listlessness, low body temperature, weak pulse and lethargy. Frostbite sometimes accompanies hypothermia and is most common in the tail, ear tips, and pads of the feet. If you suspect your dog is ill from the cold, seek veterinary care immediately to prevent further issues. Although they may seem silly, boots can help protect your dog from forming ice clumps between the pads, and serve as a barrier from any chemicals used to clear walkways and roads when it snows. Make sure your dog is kept inside during extremely cold weather. Even if your dog lives primarily outdoors, consider providing an insulated, elevated and heated area that is free from dampness, cold and drafts. You can use space heaters or heat lamps, along with straw and bedding, for additional warmth inside tack rooms, garages and weather-proofed dog homes. Adjust your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diet as needed. Indoor dogs can be fed somewhat less, as they tend to conserve energy due to a lack of activity during the winter months, whereas outdoor dogs require an increase in food to assist with thermo regulation. Continue providing fresh water daily and

consider purchasing a heated dog bowl to prevent water from freezing.

Cats and the Cold

Cat living quarters vary greatly from indoor-only, indoor/outdoor, and strictly outdoor or barn pets. Take your catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s individual lifestyle into consideration when evaluating winter prep. To avoid potential hazards and keep them warm: Check under hoods, wheel wells and chassis to ensure cats are not using cars as housing during colder months. This goes for outdoor cat owners, as well as people living near feral cat colonies. Screen, or otherwise block off, radiators, fireplaces and other direct heat sources to prevent cats from perching and burning themselves. Consider purchasing pet-safe, heated bedding, an enclosed cat climbing tree, or an appropriate shelter for your cat. For barn cats, provide an insulated house that is elevated and free from dampness, cold and drafts. Speak with your veterinarian about dietary adjustments in the winter. Indoor-only cats are less likely to require adjustments, whereas cats that are indoor/outdoor or strictly outdoor probably require an increase in food to keep up with heat regulation in the cold.

Small Furries When it Flurries No matter what pocket pet you have at home, be sure to keep cages away from windows or doors where cold and drafts may occur.

Haymarket Lifestyle

An ideal place for them is at an interior wall, keeping in mind to avoid direct contact and heat from heaters or vents. Rabbits require regular exposure to direct sunlight throughout the day to absorb vitamin D, but often have a deficiency in winter months. If your rabbit is housed indoors, be sure to either give it exercise outside or consider a vitamin supplement. If your rabbit is primarily outside, ensure the hutch is dry at all times, and supply extra bedding, hay and feed. Change water daily so it does not freeze, or purchase a neoprene sleeve for the bottle to prevent ice from forming.

Feathered Friends and Freeze

As with our other pets, birds need to stay warm in the winter months so keep your house at a minimum of 65 degrees Fahrenheit. In order to prevent stress due to heat fluctuations during power outages and emergency situations, consider purchasing a space heater. Make sure your heater does not contain any Teflon or nonstick coating that may be toxic to birds, and that it does not have any exposed coils that

may be a fire hazard around bird dust and feathers. Try running any new heaters in another room first, to burn off any residues from manufacturing before placing it with your bird. Many pet bird species originate from tropical climates where humidity helps keep their mucous membranes moist and healthy. During our winter months, low humidity can cause birds to dry out and potentially suffer from sinusitis. In order to prevent health issues, make sure to use warm water during your bird’s bath time, let it hang out in the bathroom while you shower so it can inhale steam, or run a humidifier in your house to help moisten the air.

Frigid Fins and Scales

The ideal temperature for the majority of tropical aquarium fish is around 78 degrees Fahrenheit. In the winter, consider adding an automatic heater to your aquarium which will adjust the water temperature to your fish’s needs. If your aquarium is placed near a door, window or other area of heat loss within the house, consider

relocating it to a solid interior wall to prevent temperature fluctuations and minimize algae growth from direct sunlight exposure. With colder weather, there is also concern for power outages, during which your tank’s filter, air pump and thermometer may fail. Consider purchasing a battery powered aerator as backup to help keep the water moving within the tank to prevent toxic buildup. Most reptile species require the use of a heated bulb to regulate specific temperature requirements - something to consider should a power outage occur. Both aquariums and terrariums can be wrapped on the outside with styrofoam to prevent heat loss in emergency situations.

Household Hazards

In addition to considering each of your pet’s needs, make sure the rest of your house and property are pet-safe throughout the winter. Invest in using only pet-friendly salts and de-icers to ensure your pets do not absorb toxins, found in many commercial melts, through their paws. Store liquids, such as antifreeze and lethal vermin deterrents, out-of-reach in sealed containers or cupboards to prevent harm to your pets.

LIFTING YOUR

Spirits

VINT HILL CRAFT WINERY Try their offerings or make one of your own If the best wine is the one you like, would you like to learn how to make it yourself? This is the premise of the Vint Hill Craft Winery, located in the old Vint Hill military base south of Haymarket. Modelled on a similar venture in San Francisco, people can make their own wines to either keep for personal consumption or sell to the public. Vint Hill has been credited with helping other wineries, such as Cana Vineyards in Middleburg, get off the ground. Vint Hill is a commercial winery with a custom crush facility, accepting grapes from anywhere, depending on the type of wine being produced. In addition, the winery also features a bottling line, a staffed, full-service lab, and special rooms that can assist in the fermentation of wine at a variety of temperatures. Stainless steel tanks and different types of barrels are also available. Aspiring winemakers can sign up for classes to learn how to make their own wines under the supervision of experienced winemakers. 50

Customized wines from Vint Hill can be found at Clark’s Grill in Manassas and the Landing Restaurant at Smith Mountain Lake. The Inn at Vint Hill works with the winery to make customized wines for the numerous weddings held there. In some cases, the labels on the wines will feature the couple and event. To top it off, winemakers can also make their own labels that meet government standards. Vint Hill Craft Winery has teamed up with the neighboring Covert Café to allow visitors to enjoy wines purchased at the winery along with breakfast and lunch offerings, either indoors or in an adjacent, enclosed courtyard complete with picnic tables. Current offerings include: Phillips Falk Sauvignon Blanc 2013 California Stainless Steel, 13.5%, Dry Aromas of crisp green apple on the nose and palate; refreshing wine that pairs well with cold seafood.

Vint Hill Chardonnay 2012 Virginia Barrel-aged, 13.5%, Dry This medium-bodied Chardonnay displays hints of peach and pear on the nose, followed with mango, peach, pineapple, caramel and a hint of butter on the palate. Vint Hill Viognier 2013 Virginia 13.5%, Dry This full-bodied Viognier has hints of honeysuckle and citrus on the nose, followed with pear, pineapple and a touch of coconut on the palate. Covert Wineworks White Blend “Misty” 2013 Virginia Stainless Steel, 13.5%, Off-Dry This full-bodied white blend has a floral nose followed with peach, apricot and mango on the palate. Covert Wineworks Rose 2013 Virginia Stainless Steel, 13.5%, Dry Haymarket Lifestyle

This light-bodied Rose has strawberry and hints of watermelon on the nose, followed by strawberry, raspberry and Bing cherry on the palate. With bright acidity, it is a very versatile, food-friendly wine. Vint Hill Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 Washington Barrel-aged, 13.8%, Dry This full-bodied Cabernet displays dark fruit on the nose, followed by leather and roasted meat on the palate; bright acidity with soft tannins. Covert Wineworks Red Blend “Heritage” 2012 ‘American’ Barrel-aged, 13.8%, Dry We have used the best fruit available from CA, VA and WA to create this beautiful red blend. Layers of complex fruit flavors and textures are displayed in this full-bodied red wine. What’s in it? That’s our secret! Vint Hill Zinfandel “The Zin Beast” 2012 California Barrel-aged, 13.9%, Dry The beast has lots of plum and currant on the nose, with bramble, dried currants and ripe plum on the palate. This would pair very nicely with lamb, chili and Mexican food. Covert Wineworks “Coco D’Lapporte” VA Chambourcin, 17.5%, Sweet Our Port-style dessert wine has been infused with roasted cocoa nibs. Coco is rich with dark fruits and hints of chocolate; pairs nicely with dark chocolate and cheesecake. Visit regularly, as the tasting menu changes monthly. Kids, dogs and frisbees are welcome.
