Channery Hill Merlot Blend 2017

2017. The first vintage of Channery Hill that I’ve had that doesn’t have a significant percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. I love Old Westminster’s Cab Franc and Petit Verdot based wines, so I really enjoyed this blend with and after dinner while rooting on the USMNT! — 11 days ago

Take it easy Rosé Blend 2020

A slightly acidic nose of strawberry and rhubarb, this is a lovely, slightly tart little rose. Flavors of strawberry, rhubarb, ripe red fruits, and red apple abound, and linger into a slightly mineral finish. Very tasty, crisp and refreshing. — 5 years ago

Home Vineyard Petillant Naturel Albariño 2017

About 125ml lost from a Pet Nat doing what a Pet Nat does. The nose is a little interesting. Refried beans and Meyer lemon. Some weediness. Entry however is all lemon and even a bit of plantain and some herb. Middle and finish bitters out a bit. Bubbles make it interesting but don't overdo it. Pleasant crisp aftertaste. This is a poolside pounder! — 7 years ago

Not sure what surprised me more...seeing a PetNat of Albariño from Maryland, or that I kept thinking about this wine long after I had left! I can still smell the fresh squeezed mango and guava in the glass. Similar to the other PetNat on the table, some weediness/herbs with a savory sea salt finish. This was clean, fruit forward and surprisingly delicious!

Leaf-Stone Syrah 2012

Aging beautifully! Still loads of currant and lavender. Add a touch of iodine and some more black fruit, mix with lean tannins and fine acidity. Here is to Maryland wines! — 8 years ago

I’ve enjoyed this wine as well. Thoughtful winemaking here.

Crumbling Rock Red Blend 2015

At 10yrs + from harvest, this third label blend is quite versatile. A true field blend, gives medium weight and medium intensity. A Bramble of fruit is unoffensive while being a bit simplistic. — a month ago

Maryland Rosé Blend 2024

2024. Finally got back to MD today and we’re able to finish off the five year vertical of OWW rosés we had in the fridge. Lighter in color and body but with effusive watermelon candy aromas. — 10 months ago

This local vineyard wine (out of Da Boonies, Murylund) is a new favorite! With 12% alc/volume it has a sweet taste of honey but not overly sweet and a crisp like a Granny Smith apple. — 8 years ago

Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Fabulous art from the hand of Dave Collins. East meets West (fittingly) as this varietally correct build splits Loire & La’Caly. Grass + tropical Citrus meld to a food friendly budget all star. 16$ on special at WF :) — 5 years ago

Pétillant Naturel Piquette Orange Pinot Gris Albariño 2019

Cloudy, unfiltered pet nat—kind of a creamsicle pinky orange. Dry. Funky. Notes of strawberry and hay. Great with tacos. A super interesting nat pat. Need another bottle — 6 years ago

Boordy Vineyards

South Mountain Vineyard Albariño 2017

Third vintage and still probably the best white Boordy now makes. A beautiful, fresh nose of apricot and peach and just a touch of fresh grass. The palate is lush and juicy fresh out of the bottle with rich, dry acidity. Juicy flavors of apple, peach and melon followed by very dry herbal tones and a touch of stone. The finish is long dry and juicy at the same time. Really pretty. — 7 years ago
