On July 10th, we celebrate the life of Landon Carter of  Sabine Hall, located near Warsaw in Richmond County, Virginia.  Landon Carter (August 1710 – December 22, 1778) was a planter from Virginia, best known for his account of colonial life leading up the American War of Independence, The Diary of Colonel Landon Carter, which included discussion about his Virginia winemaking efforts.  Landon’s account of his winemaking efforts in Virginia are among the first recorded in colonial America.

Built about 1730, Sabine Hall is one of Virginia’s finest Georgian brick manor houses. It was built by noted planter Landon Carter (1710-1778). It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970.

One of the colonial Virginia’s most important houses, Robert “King” Carter’s Corotoman (circa 1725) stretched an impressive 90 by 40 feet along the banks of the Rappahannock River in Lancaster County, Virginia.  Graced by an arcaded piazza, a second-story gallery and multiple pavilions, Corotoman signified Carter’s position as Virginia’s wealthiest, most powerful tobacco planter.  Carter stocked Corotman’s cellars with the finest wines and claimed the most impressive wine cellar in the New World, but lost some 900 bottles when fire destroyed the mansion in 1729.

In celebration of this important day in American wine culture, we are offering our customers a 30% bottle discount on all bottles of our Corotoman! Maximum two case per person.
