With Labor Day coming up this weekend, we’re in the home stretch before the Maryland Wine Festival on September 18-19. As always, that means wineries are ramping up their volunteer recruiting. Just within the last week I’ve received half a dozen e-mail blasts from different wineries looking for assistance. I’m sure that’s only a portion [...]
Last week I had the distinct pleasure of attending a wine tasting in DC at Lima, a trendy (almost TOO trendy) restaurant and lounge inspired, seemingly, by a European dance club. Before I jump in here, let’s start with the disclaimer: I attended this event as a guest of Octavin, who were kind enough to [...]
Two weeks after the first major Maryland wine festival of the year – Wine in the Woods – I headed out to scenic Kent Island in the Chesapeake Bay for the aptly named Chesapeake Bay Wine Festival. Since this is also a Maryland Wine Association-sponsored festival, many of the same wineries appeared on the guest [...]

Running Diary from the 2009 Maryland Wine Festival on Sunday, September 20. 12:45 – Arrive to the festival. It’s already pretty crowded for an event that started at noon.

Would anyone be able to spare a few hours this weekend to sign up new members for the organization at Wine in the Woods in Columbia? We really need help on Sunday with shifts open [...]

These sorts of things, where you sit in a small group with the winemaker and have a multi-course meal pared with his wine, are somewhat unique [...]
$25 to get into the Federal Hill Wine Festival with 12 tickets. Each ticket worth one taste of wine. My numbers-based brain kicked into gear. Local wines for $2 a taste, really? In liters, how much beer could be purchased in Cross Street Market for $25? Which would be a better value? In these economic [...]
