This is a popular, weekly event at Good Luck Cellars (GLC) and one you must enjoy if you’re in the area.

We make fresh sangria each week, featuring a GLC wine. We make a different recipe each week -- sometimes it’s made with white, sometimes it’s rose, or red. During the colder months, we make a warm, seasonal version that’ll warm the soul :0)

When it’s gone…it’s gone…until the next Sunday, of course, when we make a new batch. Come Sip and Sangria with us.

IMPORTANT NOTE: SANGRIA IS NOT SERVED ON DURING BIG EVENTS: THE OYSTER CRAWL EVENTS IN APRIL & NOVEMBER as well as the POUR YOUR HEART OUT event in JULY.

Two of America’s leading historians join forces for a special program inside Christ Church that explores one of the enduring themes in the American experience: the struggle for religious liberty and its enshrinement in the First Amendment. Join presidential historian Dr. Lindsay Chervinsky and humanities scholar Clay Jenkinson for a discussion of the history of the First Amendment and Virginia's unique role defending freedom of religion. Chervinsky is the Executive Director of the George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon and author of multiple award-winning books. Jenkinson has authored thirteen books and is the host of Listening to America (formerly The Thomas Jefferson Hour). They regularly appear together on Listening to America and will bring their witty banter and love of history to the Historic Christ Church community.
