Are you in a wine rut? Even worse, are you in a wine rut and don’t realize it? Symptoms of a wine rut are:
- finding yourself ordering only the house wine because it is cheap;
- not stepping out of a wine comfort zone;
- sticking with the tried and true.
If that sounds like you, a Virginia City Wine Tour is the cure. Take to the hills, the Virginia Range, and explore the history and shops rooted in Comstock lore dating back to the late 1800s while sampling “wines of the west” along the way.
