How will pending bill in Congress for online wine sales and shipping impact you?

Margot Dillard commented on Margot Dillard's group 'Virginia Vino'
I wasn't sure what would make a nice, refreshing wine to serve with an outdoor dinner tonight. I ended up choosing the Loudoun Valley Classic white wine. The citrus and slight sweetness seems to really set off the tastes. Any other suggestions…

I paired the Loudoun Valley Classic White with a smoked ham and the citrus of the wine really made a great summer meal!!
