MD WinePress 2016 Fall/Winter

6 / 42

Dear Readers,
Thanks for picking up a copy of the Fall/Winter 2016
Maryland Wine Press.
Fall in the vineyard is my favorite time of year. The crisp air and
changing leaves set a perfect scene for visitors to experience
Maryland in a peaceful setting. With the summer heat settled
down for the new fall season, grab a light jacket and head up to
your local winery for a warm red wine.
Our Passport Experience in February was a huge success,
bringing visitors to wineries across the state. Many wineries
offered preview tastings of reds from barrels, while others
offered fun, artful experiences to warm visitors in mid-winter.
Our events keep diversifying to showcase all that Maryland
wine has to offer. The sixth annual Winter Wine will be held at
the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore during January 2017.
This edition of Maryland Wine Press focuses on our newest
and our oldest, highlighting the future of Maryland wine and
how we got here from our humble beginnings. Find out why we
love Maryland wine and all it truly has to offer.
Over 65 of our wineries are open for tastings and tours, and
many offer special events throughout the year. Check out our
winery and event listings on for
hours, directions and more.
We hope you enjoy this edition of the Wine Press.
Cheers,
Kevin Atticks
