Inside the Current Issue:

On the Cover:
The Birthplace of American Wine
The Monticello American Viticultural Area
The practice of winemaking in the Commonwealth can be traced back to 1609 when the earliest settlers of Jamestown planted vines to produce a cash crop utilizing the vital soils of the New World. Our local region’s history with wine reflects the days of Thomas Jefferson, noted as America’s first wine connoisseur, who believed Charlottesville and Albemarle County’s terroir was ideal for growing grapevines. The founding father’s goal was to position Virginia as a winemaking region that could rival the best Old World wines in quality. To help realize his dream, Jefferson enlisted the help of Italian viticulturist Filippo Mazzei, who tirelessly researched the terroir and planted thousands of vines on land around Monticello and neighboring farms.
