Blacksburg Va

I am opening a wine bar named Blacksburg Wine Lab with my partner John Boyer, that will offer the area a totally new experience: high-quality, unique wines and tapas combined with a experimental approach that focuses on introducing clients to lesser-known wines of the world, while educating their minds and their palates. This will occur in an elegant yet comfortable atmosphere in which professors, students, business people, patrons of the arts, and young professionals come together to dine, meet friends/colleagues, or just have a light libation after work. It will also have an educational mission to spread wine knowledge and wine appreciation through weekly events, guest speakers, and even a YouTube channel featuring all of the happenings of the place and the wines consumed in it.
