NASCAR Country Meets Wine Country

Don’t think for a minute that Richard Childress had to take a second job to keep his NASCAR team going. After all, Childress travels to the races in a private jet.

Yet he does have a second job. Childress is Proprietor of, Childress Vineyards in the Piedmont region of Lexington, North Carolina.

Now I don’t know much about wine. But I’ve got to hand it to Childress - this winery is pretty neat.

There amid 65 acres of grape vines sits a palatial estate that houses the Childress Vineyards winery, wine tasting room, bistro and banquet hall.

The place produces some fine wines with fancy sounding names like Childress Vineyards Merlot and Riesling. Don’t worry if you don’t know anything about wine. They’ve got a wine club that will send you 3 bottles of their best vintage every 3 months or so for $250 a year.

Chef David Thomas makes a mean Sunday brunch that won’t leave you hungry - and of course comes with a glass of wine.
