Happy New Year!
The
new year has already brought unseasonably warm weather, tricking
many plants and bulbs into bloom – but the vines remain
dormant, building strength for a new vintage. Cheers to a
happy, healthy and prosperous new year!
Winemaker Profile
Throughout the year, we'll be presenting the people who craft
the Maryland wine we love. January's profile: Paul
Roberts of Deep Creek Cellars.
Efforts in Annapolis
The
2007 Maryland legislative session is just days away, and while
we don't expect any major issues to arise (like
those last year!). The MWA will focus its legislative
efforts on increasing wineries' ability to market their products
directly to consumers. We'll keep you updated on our progress.
2007 Wine Fest Dates
Just as the chill begins to set in, it's time to mark your
calendars for 2007's wine festivals. More wineries, more vendors
and more fun – even our festivals get better with age.
