Welcome, Friends, to our website.  Follow our progress in fulfilling our dream of owning a vineyard and farm winery!!!

(Be sure to check out new blog entries, even though Glenn's been pretty slack in his duties as Official Scribe!.)

Welcome to VY3 -

VY3 (Vines - Year 3) - sees us taking our first harvest.  Although we had a very challenging year, we expect sucessful harvests of Viognier and Cabernet Franc and will be working with one of our neighbor wineries to make our first wines.

As we begin to make our wine and work with architects and builders this year, we have our eye on a possible 2013 opening of modest facilities while we work on building more ambitious ones in the future.

Please enjoy the new format of our website, including the smaller, more condensed blog entries and the addition of new photo galleries.

A little about our vineyard -

Our property was purchased from Charles and Nancy Zimmerli after having been in the Zimmerli family for 47 years.  It is not far from the base of Big Battle Mountain, nestled snugly within the confines of Hawkins Run with the Second Battle of Manassas having been fought nearby.  We continue researching nearby historic happenings based on those names, the history of ownership, and history of Amissville and Viewtown. 

Check out our History page for what we've found so far!

We welcome comments and communication from those who visit this site as we continue on our journey!
