Thomas Jefferson and Filippo Mazzei

Thomas Jefferson's friend Philip Mazzei, a Florentine merchant, horticulturalist, and early landholder of the Jefferson Vineyards property, experimented with a vineyard starting in 1773. Mazzei's endeavor proved unsuccessful. Yet 250 years later, Jefferson's vision of successful wine production in Virginia is embodied at Jefferson Vineyards.

Thomas Jefferson Wine

Thomas Jefferson claimed that "in nothing have the habits of the palate more decisive influence than in our relish of wines." Read more about Jefferson's life-long interest in, and enjoyment of, wine.
