Giant Corkscrews

Irvington, Virginia

Mike says:
I found these in a little town called Irvington down on the Eastern Shore. They were at the entrance to the White Fences Wine Vineyard. They were HUGE!   Easily 20′ tall.

Oops! I was saving this post for last Friday — February 18th was National “Drink Wine” Day — but I missed it! So, I am hereby announcing that February 21st is National “Have Another Glass of Wine” Day!

Sadly, it seems that the White Fences Vineyard has gone out of business … but you can still visit their website here. I wonder if they’ll be keeping these corkscrews around much longer?

    Hey, this just inspired me to do a big corkscrew post on my blog. Great minds think alike (and so do we)!

    Bummer. I didn’t know they had gone out of business. I’ll have to ride back down there in the summer and see if the corkscrews are still there.

    These are great. Sad they’ve folded up but… the idea of corkscrews on a motorcycle just might make up for it.

    And Wendy…
    “Have Another Glass of Wine Day” could only be called – best holiday ever.
