Virginia W**e Month continues at The Shack! 🍷
Thursday, October 22nd, we’re welcoming w**emaker Matthieu Finot of Domaine Finot in Afton, Virginia, for a w**e takeover.
For the evening, our by-the-glass lineup will feature Domaine Finot exclusively, alongside our regular menu for the week. Matthieu will be joining us to share the w**es and the stories behind them.
Come join Matthieu and the team here at The Shack for a night of Virginia w**e, good food, and great company.
About Matthieu and Domaine Finot:
Matthieu Finot arrived in the United States from his native France in 2003, the same year that fellow Frenchman, Gilbert Tallard, established his five acres vineyards in Afton, Virginia. What started as a friendship between two compatriots, has grown over time with a mutual passion for w**e and a complimentary exchange of expertise and knowledge between them.
Starting in 2016, Matthieu has been managing the vineyard, with the goal of crafting w**es that reflect their terroir and the beauty of classically simple w**emaking techniques, thus carrying on the inspiration of Gilbert’s initial philosophy. After a few years of experimentation, Matthieu’s inauguralvintage, 2019, was bottled under the Domaine Finot / Turk Mountain Vineyards label.
