Wonderful nose with apricots, peach and lime. Great golden color and smooth acidity making a solid finish. Wish I had more. A great example of why Maryland wines are coming up!

Record temperature in Denver? Why not try a MD Albariño from @oldwestminster. Delicious acidity and lime zest. Paired perfectly with grilled salmon & avocado salsa. Rías Biaxas beware...

Old Westminster #Albariño, Carroll County, #Maryland #MDwine. A great example of why Albariño should be planted in more vineyards in the mid-Atlantic. Aromas of white flowers and orange peel plus lemon meringue, apricot and mango. Round and creamy texture with a lingering finish. Six months on the lees contributes to the creamy palate. Good show from a new winery. #wine #sommelier

Rías Baixas meets Rhône. Crisp yet rich. Citrus, tropical fruit and a bit of spice. Good stuff coming out of Maryland.
