“S” appellations

Shenandoah Valley of Virginia

Not to be confused with California's Shenandoah Valley, the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia strattles the state borders of Virginia and West Virginia, with most of the appellation resting within Virginia.
The AVA rests between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny ranges, which creates moderate summers and cold winters that see an abudance of snow, with many a vine suffering the icy fingers of death over amid January's state of drear. Wineries are still experimenting with grape varieties, and the long preferred Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon are meeting their match with native and hybrid varietals.
