About the bookThis was a journey started while attending a Virginia wine festival in 1998. I loved traveling around picturesque Virginia visiting wineries and breweries. I thought it would be great to pair these wonderful craft beverages with local food.It is amazing to think that Thomas Jefferson's vision of wine created here in Virginia and be internationally recognized is a reality. The amazing craft beer scene brings people from all over the world to try these special microbreweries. How amazing that George Washington's Rye Whiskey is still enjoyed today. The wineries, breweries, and distillers are true artisans and continue to inspire.I love getting together with family and friends preparing delicious food and pairing them with exceptional craft beverages.
