The vineyards box was there as of last weekend. Re-read the clues... the
box is not outside with the vines or anything as confusing as that. The
woman who poured your wine could have really helped you!

We were only the second to have stamped in this box. We would encourage DC
area boxers to head out towards Paris and look for some of the boxes out
there. It is only about 50 minutes outside of Tysons. Sky Meadow Park is
great with incredible views and lots of trails (and several boxes). The
horse country is beautiful. There are all sorts of funky little shops and
antique stores.

Make a weekend out of it! Stay at L'Auberge Provencal -- it's wonderful!

Eat there for breakfast and then have lunch at Sal's (that's where the
winery sends everyone after they sample too much wine on an empty stomach!)
BeMa

P.S. Newbei -- did you plant any more boxes in this VA wine tasting series?

I have not planted any other boxes in this series YET, I do have other vineyards that agreed to participate, and I have carved other stamps, and made the boxes.

However, I have really been swamped lately and have not had the chance to get out to wine country to plant the other boxes. I am going out of state to AZ until the end of June. When I return I DO plan on getting the other boxes planted.

Thanks for responding to me and letting me know that it is still
there. I will have to go back sometime soon and ask the lady behind
the counter.
