Being one of the older, established vineyards in Northern VA, Tararadelivers some of the best wines (especially reds) in the area. There's very few that come close, IMO.
Tararawine is wonderful but customer needed to pay for 6 or 9 wines to taste. Couldn't chose which wines to taste. I tasted at several wineries, & never experienced such inflexible service.
Winemaker Jordan Harris http://schiller-wine.blogspot.com/2012/12/vineyard-walk-wine-tasting-in-vineyard.html is a very interesting and very knowledgable guy
I have friends who love Tarara. I think most of their wines are just okay. Their Charval is their best, IMO. Nice location, great views, good summer concerts.
