wine vendors

You can order "mix cone" and get blush

Most likely will be Virginia wines or generic cheapies. Dave Mathews has a wine, too.

I've posted elsewhere that I think Virginia wineries are overpriced for the product they offer.  And of course festival prices are pretty overpriced, too.  Not complaining.  Still interested in the specific wineries they will have as some are definitely better than others.  I like Barboursville (Green co?) and Veritas (or is that Nelson, right on the border?) among the Albemarle wineries.  I've had a good time at the Rebec Wine and Garlic festival (this weekend) and that is just over the border in Amhearst Co. but I dont' think their wine is anything special.  Can't say any of the other ones in or around Nelson are attractive for me.  

I think that many of the smaller vineyards will buy either grapes or grape juice from other wineries or from independent grape growers (and yes, this is common across the country even among some big name wineries).  I am not aware of any that actually buy and blend wine, although I am sure that occurs as well.  Honestly I always ask at tastings if they grow all of their own grapes or if they purchase some.    Scale is a huge deal for VA wineries and the main reason almost all of them rely on festivals and people visiting the winery for almost all of their sales.  Hard to hit a good price point with small batches.  

I like wine and drink a good bit of it but sticking to beer for the fest I think.  I did have a Cab Sav that was a collaboration of Dave Matthews and ond of the California wineries that was pretty good last weekend.

your take on Virginia wines--OK but over-priced for the quality--is a widely held opinion. I think they rely on guilt sales as their
business model--festivals, B&B/restaurants, "buy local" pressure, auctions and fund raisers.

I tried Dave's at the DMB show and it was good but I don't know the price.

But if you want to go that way, the Virginia wines featuring cab franc are the best IMO

not disagreeing and I'm sure the high-end is priced right, but the <$10 wine (popular price point) costs $20. And I understand
that has a lot to do with economy of scale. But that doesn't make me buy it.

Honestly, didn't "sealed plastic goblet" kinda give it away? ;)

But it was so cute... I had to try it...
