Packed. That’s the word we would use to describe the 7th Annual Oyster Roast over at Cardinal Point Vineyard and Winery. You couldn’t have custom ordered better weather for this weekend’s event.
Yes, it's all about the oysters, but let's not forget the CP wine!
Rappahannock River Oyster Company provides the yummy oysters each year at the annual event. They annual oyster roast has become a highly anticipated festival at Cardinal Point.
4-time World Shucking Champion, Deborah Pratt, and her sister, Clementine Macon, ensured that CP kept up with the demand.
On Saturday The Cashmere Jungle Lord entertained the crowd, on Sunday it was Jolie Fille (fun cajun punk).
The weather provided a perfect backdrop for this year's roast.
Our NCL Mountain Photographer, Paul Purpura has tirelessly made the trip to most every game this season. He was there for this final one. Paul tells us,” They played their hearts out as usual,” but in the end it wasn’t enough.
