![]() ![]() “First thing I’d do, would be to tear down this old barn” — our vineyard consultant After 110 years, the old bank barn had fallen into disrepair, the remaining roof was dangling in shreds. With sweat and ingenuity, Pop Pop Jim set to restoring the entire building. When he finished, he built a long bar out of cypress wood. That’s where he can be found standing behind when guests come to visit. The Enoteca Va La also offers samplings of Va La wines, with touches of local Chester County foods. This may include local artisan cheeses, mustards and jams, fresh breads and focaccias, mushrooms, or items just plucked from our orchard and garden that day. Release of new wines, the latest in farm fashions, scintillating tractor gossip, tarot card readings, etc., comes to you through the wonders of the intra-nets and direct from the World Corporate Headquarters in Avondale. Nothing really says “I was just too busy to go out and properly shop for you”, quite like the Va La Gift Certificate. Available all year; you can try ordering by wishing really hard for it to happen, or you may pick up the phone and press down on the following keys: 610 268 2702.
