OK, I’m talking about more than a simple palate-pleasing wine experience. Maybe it’s best to think of this as an opportunity to match your business acumen with your entrepreneurial spirit. All of you who have been looking for the perfect holiday present or those of you who wonder how you can change your life in the upcoming year, then have I got a deal for you!

Here’s an opportunity to purchase a successful operating business: The whole 20-acre property with the winery, vineyard, spring house, and inventory. The staff eagerly awaits your arrival and is ready to turn your dream into reality. After all, they know this business. The winemaker, Chris Pearmund, would be happy to continue as the winemaker. Everything goes as a package in its entirety or in partnership with the current owners.

Now that I’ve solved your wanderlust, middle-age anxiety, or youthful exuberance (or some combination thereof). Here are some important details:

The winery in question is The Winery at La Grange in Haymarket. You’ll be pleased to know that many of their wines have won a handsome list of awards including gold medals at some of the better known, impressive wine competitions. Whet your whistle yet? OK, just a little more: The wines have made it on to a number of restaurant wine lists which in itself is a testament to superior taste. We are too familiar with restaurateurs skipping over the so-called local approach. 

That’s all the homework I have prepared for you. Now it’s your turn to get the specifics. Either contact winemaker and managing partner Chris Pearmund or Carrie Carter at Sotheby’s.

Keep me posted so I can let everyone know about your life-changing, career-building decision!
