Hunters Run to Offer Their Own Wine

I stopped in to see Geri at Hunters Run Wine Barn this weekend and she had some exciting news. She is working with Lori Corcoran, from Corcoran Vineyards to create her own wines.

Lori is a very talented winemaker and Geri knows a lot about wine and has some good ideas about what she wants in a wine. The two of them putting their heads together should result in some excellent (and interesting) wines.

I'll keep you all posted on the release dates!

Hunters Run Wine Tasting Barn

The great people at the Hunters Run Wine Tasting Barn have set up their website. They even have a quote on the page from some random Virginia wine blogger....who will remain nameless :)

Hunters Run Wine Tasting Barn

Route 9 is has become one of best wine routes in the area. With wineries like Loudoun Valley, Sunset Hills, Notaviva and, of course, Breaux Route 9 has a lot of unique wineries and good diversity of wines.

The latest addition to this group of wineries is the Hunters Run Wine Tasting Barn (another barn turned into a tasting, it really is a trend here in Loudoun). The Hunters Run Wine Tasting Barn is owned by Geri Nolan, who was on hand to pour for me when I went out for a recent visit.

HRWTB does not serve its own wines, instead they pour wines from Corcoran Vineyards. This is similar to the tasting rooms I've seen in California, Washington and Oregon and I think its a great idea.

The tasting room itself is very warm and inviting, the barn is cozy and the wood-burning stove at one end of the tasting room provided much needed warmth on the cold-rainy day I visited. There is an eclectic collection of chairs and stools on the main floor and a loft overlooking the bar.

Geri is very charming and bubbly and she knows a great deal about the Corcoran wines. She is obviously a big fan not only of the wines, but of Jim and Lori as well. The visit was a lot of fun, and I highly encourage anyone tasting along Route 9 to add HRWTB to their itinerary.
