Virginia - Williamsburg - Busch Gardens - Mistletoe Marketplace



My wife and I were wondering around Busch Gardens, Williamsburg and found the Mistletoe Marketplace. It was an outdoor marketplace off of the arcade. There were many different artisans and we found the special holiday wine tasting. There were many to choose from so we had decisions to make first. My wife started off the tasting with the Geyser Peak 2012 sauvignon blanc, the Juve y Camps cava reserve de la familia 2008 brut nature with its peach undertones and apple finish, but she really enjoyed the Rockbridge Virginia white wine, an ice wine.

I chose the Pine Ridge 2012 Forefront pinot noir over the Justin cabernet sauvignon. Another couple at the tasting bar agreed that the pinot noir would be a better choice.My wife finished off the tasting with the Chocolate Shop chocolate lovers wine. She chose that over Grahams fine ruby port. Although it is a red wine, it is infused with dark chocolate and cherries. She enjoyed it over other chocolate wines she has had in the past.
