Virginia Wines on the International Stage<\/strong>
I first became acquainted with Virginia Wines at Wine Paris<\/a><\/strong> in January 2025. When my friend, Frank Morgan, invited me to attend \u201cOld World, New Roots: A Panel Wine Tasting: Virginia vs France\u201d scheduled for the end of June, I was intrigued enough to make my way to Paris. I\u2019m so glad I did, as the best Virginia Wines showed they stand shoulder to shoulder with wines from the loftiest appellations anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n

Comp\u00e9tition Amicale between Top Virginia Wines and French Counterparts<\/strong>
The competition was organized by Frank and Thomas McCune. Thomas is a retired physician who is enrolled in a high level wine certification at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. The idea was to match wines of the four most successful varieties in Virginia with their counterparts from France. The grape varieties in the tasting included Chardonnay, Petit Manseng, Cabernet Franc and Merlot based blends. The competition was organized as a blind tasting, held at the esteemed Le Cordon Bleu in Paris.<\/p>\n
