BUNDLE.
Petit Verdot, dare we say the Queen of Reds? This Bordeaux varietal is bold and certainly doesn’t follow the rules. She’s a rebel in the most beautiful way. I imagine her quoting Mark Twain, “life is short, break the rules”. And just like any respectable queen, Petit Verdot is the shining star of our red program. Her name means “small green” due to the slow ripening process. As well, Petit Verdot is quite age worthy. Our celebration for Virginia Wine Month, October. Diva status, 100%. Jefferson Vineyards has been showcasing Petit Verdot varietal wines since 2001 - one of the first in Virginia to do so. To get you in the rebellious spirit, wine wise of course, we have curated three exceptional Petit Verdot's from two exceptional years (2017 and 2019). All in celebration of October - Virginia wine month. Click here to learn more: https://www.jeffersonvineyards.com/Wines/Wine-Shop/Featured-Wines

While originating as a celebration of George Washington’s birthday, President’s Day has also come to be understood as a celebration of the lives of all United States presidents. Following one term as vice-president and a contentious campaign in 1800 for the presidency, Thomas Jefferson was elected the third president of the United States. During his two terms as president, from 1801 to 1809, Jefferson accomplished many achievements including abolishing the Atlantic slave trade, reducing the national debt, and the Louisiana Purchase. However, Jefferson also faced hardships during his time in office including tense relations with Britain and ultimately the War of 1812 broke out during the administration of the fourth president, James Madison.

Though Jefferson is commonly remembered for being president, he did not have the achievement listed on his tombstone. Instead, Jefferson chose to highlight the three achievements he held dear to him, author of the Declaration of American Independence, author of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, and Father of the University of Virginia.

This is what is now on my old domain name that go daddy sold on me.
We had hundreds of hits on this page per day and had thousands of people interacting.
Our flyers made it to the mid term republican convention in 2010 and now this is what you will see if you goto the .com page instead of .net which i had to switch to.
Makes me wonder what the real reason my old domain name was taken from me
