Potomac Point Proprietors
 |
The owners, Skip and Cindi Causey, are Widewater residents who had a dream of
opening up their own winery. Dream talk, their daughter Chelsea called it. The
Causeys trace their interest back to the early 1990s when they started visiting
wineries in the Napa Valley and Sonoma regions of California. They based Potomac
Point Vineyard and Winery on multiple Mediterranean cultures, Italian, French,
Spanish as well as American - specifically Napa and New Orleans.
Skip and Cindi are proud to offer their current vintages as well as future
pressings that will be coming in 2008, such thSkip and Cindi are proud to offer
