I’ve been holding off posting on The Wine Market for some time because I hadn’t eaten dinner there. The retail wine shop is small and cozy with two aisles with a wide range of affordable stuff under $10 and some high end First Growths high at the top of the shelves. If you’re looking for [...]
Beltway Fine Wine, aptly named because it is about 500 feet from the Baltimore Beltway, is easy to miss. It’s nestled under an Ethan Allen Furniture store and the big front signage is actually pointed away from the highway. Once inside, though, it’s all business. Beltway Fine Wines has one of the best selections in [...]
My vitriol for Maryland’s wine shipping laws will find no sympathy up I-83, where Pennsylvania’s Liquor Control Board keeps wine drinkers on a short leash. Not only can you not have wine shipped to you, but you can’t even purchase from a private wine shop. The only place to pick up your Pegau is at [...]
Popped into the Vineyard Wine & Spirits closing sale on Saturday. Got there around 4pm and most of the reserve room had been picked dry.

Halfway through the store I remembered I was in Maryland and that the draconian laws here prevented me from getting alcohol in the same place I get my organic whatevers. That’s [...]
Dropped by Wells today to mark my first wine shop visit since moving back to MD. I checked out Wells on the recommendation of my Father-in-law who says that it’s his go-to wine shop. Nice place, lots of selection from California and from France. Several high end wines for sale too (2003 Mouton for $495, [...]
