I refuse to apologize for enjoying a glass of wine at the end of the day.  I may not be an expert, but
I know what I like.  For me, it's all about the flavor. Taste is the only way to win
my respect and earn a place on my personal Wine List.  I created this page to
share a few of my favorites with you

As always, if you're on this website I expect you to be an adult.

#1.   Sutter Home White Merlot
This is my all-time favorite wine.  The name says white, but the wine is a red. Light in color, you
might even confuse it with a blush.  The aroma hints at fruit, and the wine has a very smooth taste
with hints of cherry or berry without cloying sweetness. IMHO this wine can be served with the
food of your choice, but I like it best straight up on autumn afternoons while lazing on the patio
watching the leaves fall.
#3. Sutter Home White Merlot may hold my #1 spot, but Arbor Mist has earned it's place near the
top. Arbor Mist wines are actually wine and fruit juice blends, but the mix is perfect. Light, crisp,
clean and above all refreshing, Arbor Mist is perfect on hot summer evenings. Don't stand on
wine drinking protocol with Arbor Mist. Pour it over ice and sip while enjoying the view from the
garden swing. If it's a typical triple-H summer day in the Mid-Atlantic, I'll even mix in a splash of
ginger ale for a sparkling effect.
#2.  Beringer Chenin Blanc.  Chenin Blanc must be a difficult wine to get right. We've tasted this
wine from about a dozen vineyards and so far Beringer comes out on top.  A slightly dry white
with hints of citrus to its aroma and ginger to its taste, the Beringer Chenin Blanc is light on the
tongue with no aftertaste. It goes really well with spicy dishes like chicken fajitas or a highly
seasoned chicken stir-fry. We like this wine best with a meal, but it holds up on its own and is
very enjoyable on a summer evening or in front of the fireplace.
It's okay to dream - CHATEAU D'YQUEM.  
Let me say I've never had the pleasure of tasting this wine. It's well beyond my price range. Like,
to the moon beyond. The general consensus is that Chateau D'Yquem is the true Nectar of the
Gods. I hope to experience it once in my lifetime. It's one of the reasons I play the lottery.
Maryland Wines

We're on a mission to taste vintages from every Maryland winery. We started out as close to home as
possible and were pleasantly surprised. Now we need a little help from
marylandwine.com to locate
the more distant wineries.

Two of the best known Maryland wineries are probably Boordy and what used to Linganore and is now
Berrywine Plantations/Linganore Winecellars. To our delight, we now have
Knob Hall in Clear Spring,
Maryland - in our back yard, so to speak. Making the trek there to enjoy some of their events is on
agenda.
Yellow Tail Chardonnay. It's possible we got a bad bottle of this wine. We both thought it was
good at first sip, but then the aftertaste kicked in. We plan to give it another try on our next trip to
stock the wine cellar.
