A Celebration of Maryland Wine & Racing

The Maryland Wineries Association presents DECANTER—the second annual event to highlight the heritage and tradition of both Maryland wine and Maryland horse racing—on April 21-22, 2012 at historic Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, home of the Preakness Stakes.
