2009 Harvest Update
With most grapes off the vine, Maryland's 2009 vintage is progressing in tanks and barrels throughout the
state. Wineries reported an overall high-quality harvest, despite the wet conditions late in the season.
With four new wineries producing their first wines this year, expect to see some interesting varieties and
exciting new wines debut in 2010!
