FLOYD CO., Va. — Virginia's wine industry has grown remarkably in the past decade and its wines are now featured in restaurants around the world.
Helping push the industry, is Virginia's First Lady. Maureen McDonnell is encouraging more restaurants and retailers to sell local wines. It’s one of the four initiatives she took on while her husband is in office.
Ben Slocum is on the hunt.
"I carry 24 Virginia wines," said Slocum.
