Chestnut presents jones von drehle

jones von drehle Vineyards is making some very good wine, and yes, it is North Carolina wine. When they came by to pitch us at Chestnut, we were floored by the quality. There was really a measure of disbelief, but after a few minutes with Diana Jones, we were believers. So much so that we decided to plan a wine dinner as a way to introduce these outstanding wines to our faithful wine diners.
