An important decision for the Rappahannock Independent Film Festival was made recently. It was the decision to move forward with a 2009 festival. Despite all of the blood, sweat, and tears we lost during the 2008 festival, we feel like it was all worth it and we’re willing to do it again.

As promised we have put our first prized bottle in the Enomatics. The 2002 Colonial Estates ‘Exile’ which received a whopping 98 points from Robert Parker.
Produced from a dry-farmed, single vineyard of old vine Shiraz (some of which are 120 years old), the stunning, inky/purple-tinged 2002 Shiraz Exile was aged in 100% new French oak. A sweet nose of black fruits, flowers, melted licorice, and espresso roast precedes a wine of amazing concentration, compelling intensity, and a tremendous finish of more than 60 seconds. Although expensive, readers must take into consideration the age of the vines as well as the limited production. This exquisite Shiraz is approachable, but promises to hit its peak in 3-5 years, and last for two decades. Kudos to proprietor Jonathan Malthus for his work in the Barossa.
I have seen many of you look longingly at the bottle on the shelf, and now is your opportunity to taste something truly unique and special. This is one of the reasons I love the Enomatics so much. We would not be able to offer this wine by the sample, half-pour or full-pour without this technology. It has taken a wine that previously only a few get to enjoy and offered it to everyone.

If you are leaving town, travel safe. If you’re not, make sure that the turkey fryer is fired up a good 50 feet away from the house.
From all of us at Fred2Blue, have a great holiday and y’all come back now…
Unless there’s a vast hidden market for Wagon Queen Family Trucksters we don’t know about, a $25 billion blank check payable to the Big Three in Detroit is a reeeeeeeeeeeeally bad idea.
I’m just sayin’.
All kidding aside though, comparing Jeff Frederick to Adolf Hitler really is absurd.
Hitler has a moustache.

Has anyone else noticed that the new Fredericksburg War Memorial looks a lot like the University of Mary Washington logo?
The two biggest names in local politics, Sen. Edd Houck and Del. Albert Pollard, have endorsed former VA Secretary of Finance Jody Wagner for Lt. Governor. That makes a total number of 38 VA legislators who’ve endorsed her candidacy. She’ll face Russell Co. Supervisor Jon Bowerbank in the Democratic primary next year for the right […]
