Quinquatria.

Today commemorates Quinquatrus, an ancient Roman festival sacred to Minerva, patroness of music & wisdom. It also marks my birthday, which I share with Nº 6.

What better way to celebrate than with libations at Piedmont Vineyards on the historic Waverly estate!

Cheese & wine alfresco in bucolic Virginia wine country on a spectacularly sunny day? Yes sir, thank you, sir!

Proprietor Gerhart Von Finck’s award-winning Native Yeast Chardonnay comes highly recommended, even if you do not fancy white wine (I typically do not).

It was a perfect day.
