Congratulations to the Joshua Wilton House Inn and Restaurant in Harrisonburg, VA, and in particular to their Wine Director, Sean Pugh, for receiving the Wine Spectator 2006 Award of Excellence. Out of thousands of restaurants, The Joshua Wilton was one of approximately 80 in Virginia to receive the award. Even better, Sean is one of only four Virginia wine director/sommeliers who were featured with an accompanying photograph (in Sean's case taken by BlackBird Images.) Here's the photograph we took of Sean that ran in the August issue of Wine Spectator.
The preceeding was the photo Sean chose to submit, but we also like this one.
The Joshua Wilton is a client of our parent company, BlackBird Media, and BlackBird Images has photographed a number of weddings at the Inn. We've developed a great relationship with Mark, Ann Marie, and Sean, the owners of the Joshua Wilton, and are happy to congratulate them for receiving national recognition from the country's leading wine magazine.
