![]() We produce four wines from a small hill near Avondale, Pennsylvania. “…some of the most unconventional and refined bottles of East Coast vino that I have tasted.” — Craig LaBan, Philadelphia Inquirer “Safe to say, there are few wineries nationally, let alone regionally, as unique as Va La Vineyards.” — Paul Vigna, Patriot News Harrisburg “Friends helping me locate potentially interesting growers in Pennsylvania (where I grew up) suggested a visit to Va La Vineyards. After some persistence, I received from proprietor Anthony Vietri an odd reply – clearly not meant to be coy or unfriendly – recommending I spare myself the trouble. I’m sure glad I didn’t, because the highly unorthodox quintet that issues from two dozen (mostly Italianate) cépages (largely in field blends!) on six acres set just back from the main drag of tiny Avondale (northwest of Wilmington, Delaware) is worth a detour; and Vietri is passionate, experimental, articulate, and focused on vineyard excellence. Whether his orange “white” La Prima Donna; his deep rosé Silk; Cinderbox; Cedar; or Mahogany (the smoky and chocolaty-rich 2010 of which was due to be bottled about now, but won’t be released before late this year) these will cause you to lick your lips as you rethink many things you thought you knew…” — David Schildknecht, The Wine Advocate, “Best of 2012” “They sure as hell had better be racking on the new moon, that’s all I’ve got to say.” — Proud grandmother of the winemaker ENTER ©2013 Va La Family Farmed Wines.
