Ah, Labor Day weekend. For many of us, it's our last chance for summer barbecues, mini-trips to Rehoboth Beach, and white jeans. Summer, we'll sure miss you.
As you say your final farewell to long hot summer nights, make wine a part of your extended three-day weekend and check out the events below:
August 30: California Dreamin' Wine Tasting. Great theme, eh? Maybe I'm biased, being born in San Diego and all (go Chargers!), but I believe that California makes the best wine in the world. Period. Try a range of cool West Coast chardonnays, merlots, and zinfandels from Muirwood, Dominican Oaks, Sobon and more. Corridor Wine and Spirits in Laurel. 12-6pm. Free. www.corridorwine.com.
September 1: 20th Annual Jazz and Wine Festival. Check out nationally and regionally known jazz musicians while tasting wines from ten Virginia wineries. The Town Green in historic downtown Herndon (777 Lynn St.). 12-6pm. $5-15. Visit the festival's website here.
September 1: Toast to the Teachers. School is almost here. And if I were a teacher, I know I'd stock up on plenty of wine to wind down after a long day of Reading, 'Riting, and 'Rithmetic. You lucky educators get free wine tastings today, plus a ten percent discount on wine purchases. That should get you through the semester. Gadino Cellars in Washington, Virginia. 11:30am-5pm. Free. www.gadinocellars.com.
