(WTOP) - Virginia wines are gaining acclaim and boasting record sales for the state, but a regional wine festival returning to Washington only features two wineries from the commonwealth.

"Up until a few years ago, people didn't really know about Virginia wine," says Amanda Galanis, manager at Boxwood Estate Winery in Middleburg, Va.
