Barboursville Vineyards takes home the Monticello Wine Cup and more local restaurant news


Barboursville Vineyards winemaker Luca Paschina says they recently planted three more acres of the Petit Verdot grape, which is mainly used in blends, such as the Octagon. The 2010 Petit Verdot Reserve is the vineyard’s third crafting of wine predominantly with this grape, and is about 90 percent Petit Verdot and 10 percent Virginia Nebbiolo.
