Maryland Wine & The Frederick Wine Trail
I'm not necessarily a huge fan of wine, but there are a plethora of wineries in Maryland and most particularly in Frederick County. They always seem to be hosting events, tastings, picnics, music, and I've heard from those that have gone that it's usually a blast.
Go for the atmosphere as much as the wine.

Welcome to our Valley The fertile Robertson Valley is the birth place of a wide variety of fine wines. Situated some 160 kilometres from Cape Town, it is bordered by the lower reaches of the Breede River to the south and the spectacular Langeberg Mountains to the north. In this sought-after wine producing region, a variety of meso-climates and soil conditions create a side spectrum of terroirs, allowing us to produce an exciting diversity of wine styles.Personal Wine
Hey yall! This is for anyone out there that has an event they are planning (wedding, corporate event, birthday party, etc..) or you just want to give someone a special gift! I work for a company called Personal Wine and we specialize in making custom labels for award winning wine and champagne bottles.R'son winery Humble beginnings
From humble beginnings Robertson Winery is an important role player in the South African wine industry. Our trend-setting and progressive winery had its humble beginnings in a charming missionary church on the outskirts of Robertson, and it’s history is closely linked to that of the town. The today prosperous town of Robertson was named after Dr William Robertson, a Scottish minister who arrived in South Africa in 1822.Winery Trip
The weekend before last, my old roommate and I took one of our somewhat regular trips to Fredericksburg, TX for Oktoberfest and to visit the wineries.
It was a beautiful day, and the clouds really put on a show for us the whole trip!
We had the best chicken salad EVER at this little biergarten, and of course, some good beer!
Liquid Memory: Why Wine Matters: A Review
I was reading the NY Times' book reviews and I came across an interesting review on the book, Liquid Memory: Why Wine Matters by Jonathan Nossiter. (262 pp. Farrar, Straus & Giroux $26) As background, I would hope that every serious wine drinker has seen Modovino by this time, a movie ostensibly about the world wine trade. if nothing else it is fascinating. I will admit here and now that I am no fan of Robert Parker nor of that other popular wine magazine which seems like it is at every checkout counter. however I dislike them for different reasons. Parker, at very least, knows something about wine, but his mere favorable mention of a given wine has been known to send it soaring. There are many popular examples. The other magazine, which shall go unmentioned, has attempted to manipulate wine drinkers into various drining habits. Not without its merits, especially in areas of travel articles, there is a common joke in the wine trade that when a wine is panned in the magazine, it is said that the winery probably forgot to pay its bill. In any case, I thought this review was a pretty good one, of not only the book but the way in which we find the wine world today, so I am posting it here. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
