We were headed to a different winery that we had been to a few times before. For some reason we decided to stop at Doukenie instead. What a find! I liked all the wines but am partial to the cab sauv. There are a lot of pleasant wines in NOVA. this vineyard and winery stood out for its pure charm. Beautiful setting, not uncommon, but the ducks on the pond, the horses, the cattle grazing and most particularly the owner's mother. She offered a sample of her homemade Baklava. I don't think I have ever met a more charming woman of her age. She states it is 92 1/2. I have never enjoyed a tasting as much as I did here. It was a wonderful surprise.
