On September 4th, we celebrate the life of founding father Robert “Councillor” Carter, III (February 1727 – March 10, 1804), of Nomini Hall located in Westmoreland County. RCIII was an American planter, and for two decades sat on the Virginia Governor’s Council, which among other things, promoted the establishment of a Virginia wine industry. On September 5, 1791, Carter began what became the largest release of enslaved persons in North America prior to the American Civil War, and is now remembered as the “Great Emancipator”.
In celebration of this important day in American wine culture, we are offering our customers a 30% bottle discount on all bottles of our Nomini Hall Cabernet Franc! Maximum two case per person.

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.
