emphasis on those that are female-led. Three
wine flights are offered monthly, each centered
around a different themed destination: Local
(Virginia), Domestic and International. " You
can come here and sample, on any given day,
12-plus wines through our flights, " Bobby says.
" And you get to taste all kinds of different locations
and areas, some of which many people,
including ourselves, will never make it to. " The
curated list is ambitious too in that around 80%
of the tasting flight wines change monthly. " If
you came in once a month and just did our
three flights, you would experience 144 wines
in a year. At least, " Bobby says.
Each wine flight consists of four, two-ounce
pours, typically comprised of two whites and
two reds, arranged from light to dark. But
guests also have the option to " fly solo, " mixing
and matching wines across flights to better
suit their palate's preferences. Everything on
the tasting menu is available by the glass as
well as by the bottle, which can be consumed
on site or at home. " Being able to bring wines
from all different areas across Virginia, the U.S.
and internationally gives you an opportunity
to do a tasting to see if there's something you

like before you buy a bottle of it, " Bobby says.
" As opposed to going to a big box store and
taking your chances on what the label says or
what it looks like. "
Each wine tasting flight is accompanied by
a slip of paper with the winery's tasting notes;
but not because the Bakers want to tell you
what to taste. They appreciate how personal and
subjective taste is and enjoy comparing notes
with guests. " One Sauvignon Blanc, I actually
got asparagus and green chiles, and somebody
else would get the green apple and the lime, "
Susan says of a recently poured Chilean wine.
" It was so neat, the whole discovery of differences
in our palates and what we actually
perceive what we taste. "
Providing printed tasting notes frees the
staff up to share more behind-the-scenes
details about the winery or anecdotes about
the winemakers. One Virginia winery they featured
early on was Barren Ridge Vineyards, a
fourth generation, family-run estate where the
Bakers got married. Or take Napa's Hendry
Vineyard, which has been continuously farmed
