Although Dry January may have ended, many are still looking for ways to limit their alcohol intake while still socializing and visiting the region’s wineries. And winemakers are coming up with creative ways to meet this growing trend.

At Potomac Point Winery in Staford, owner and winemaker Skip Causey has released a low alcohol wine, Viognier LA. Skip’s process is to use a varietal with a lot of fruit character first, such as the popular Viognier, make the wine l, and then strip the alcohol from it to 6%. He then adds a bit of of back sweetener, and acid. Potomac Point’s bottled their first low abv offering this past October and it is currently available at the winery.

Don’t have seeds? Not a problem! We’ll have a selection available to help you plan your 2025 garden and our friends have graciously donated seeds as well! We will also provide seed saving tips and instructions, seed catalogues, envelopes and pens for labeling all packets.

Our good friends will be in attendance with information about their community gardens. All ages are welcome to attend!
