What’s the problem?
The issue at hand is that wine consumers in Maryland cannot order a bottle of wine from an out of state retailer and have it shipped to their house. This is because Maryland law dictates that alcohol retailing in Maryland flows through the Three Tier System: producer-distributor-retailer-(you)
For more on the three tier [...]
May I produdly present my tasting note for the Solomons Cab Reserve, easily one the of the strongest Maryland reds that I’ve had.
Deep ruby color that got darker and more purple as the night went on. Very light nose. Herd to get much of anything from it. Herbal if anything, some floral [...]

21% off a case, serious stuff. None of this 10% nonsense that we’re normally accustomed to. Nor is it a sham where a store raises prices, then discounts from those inflated prices. Pick up a case to stock your cellar throughout the holidays. Better yet, if you’re in sales [...]
It’s Drink Local Wine’s second annual Regional Wine Week. My wine rack is comepltely bare of any local wines, so how about we do like a sitcom and run a clips show with the two best and two worst local notes I’ve taken over the past year.
The interesting thing about this note…
Very light straw [...]

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. Lines to get in were epic, so noted to come earlier next year. Marylanders for Better Beer and Wine Laws are out in force, [...]
Your regular blogger has let me pop in again and share a little Maryland wine tour.
If there’s one thing Maryland wineries can learn from Virginia, it’s signage. The very first sign we saw for Black Ankle Vineyards was the one directing us to turn left into the driveway. Virginia, on the other hand, [...]
Cracked open a bottle of Black Ankle’s Bedlam tonight mostly because I’d had a bad run of local wines lately and wanted to pull something out that would be worth writing about. Recall, if you will, my initial impressions of Black Ankle Vineyards Bedlam at the Blank Ankle tasting back in January
Bunch of stuff [...]
Went to eat at Amicci’s in Baltimore’s Little Italy last week. The cause was celebratory, so I called ahead to see what their corkage policy was. I was told their liquor license wouldn’t allow BYOB. I’ve heard of restaurants now allowing BYOB, but wasn’t aware that Maryland came down decisively on either [...]
Finally got a chance to check out Taverna Corvino, the Italian restaurant on Light Street in Federal Hill. Taverna Corvino replaced Junior’s in the location that works like a Tilt-A-Whirl for upscale restaurants in South Baltimore. If you aren’t slinging Miller Lite in Sobo, you’re going to have a rough time getting going.
