Upcoming: Maryland Wine Festival, Taxes, Death, etc…
Maryland Wine Festival (website) tickets are on sale now and can be purchased through the Carroll County Government website. The lines to get into the festival weren’t prohibitive last year, but it is always best to buy in advance. You can read my writeup from last year on the 2009 Maryland Wine Festival.
As I’ve said before one of the best ways to get into these things is to volunteer to help.
The Baltimore City Bottle Tax went into effect two weeks ago and residents, as expected, are bitter. Winos will probably fail to notice as the two-cent-tax on their $10 bottle of Boordy will amount to a wallet-clenching 0.2% increase in price. Still, Wells in Towson put out a bolded statement on their blog announcing:
We have decided that the ***Baltimore City Bottle Tax*** will hit OUR POCKETS and NOT YOURS!!!!
Noble cause, indeed.
