Yahoo CreatorsThis Virginia county surprised me with incredible food, wine and small-town charm

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTeam coverage tonight from Virginia, where a writer for Yahoo Creators says one county surprised them with incredible food, wine and small-town charm.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSurprised them how, Chip? Was anyone hurt?
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOnly their expectations, Gloria. Our live map shows the charm spreading outward from the tasting room in a slow, delicious circle.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThat map is a placemat.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIt's a very detailed placemat. And the wine, I'm told, is the kind you sip while standing near a fence.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA county that was merely pleasant is now an incident. I have left embassies for less.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'd say the winery porch seats forty folding chairs, easy.
