I was wondering if any one has any suggestions for any good Maryland wines. ECAdmin I know you reviewed that viognier from Black Ankle Vineyard, which I plan on trying, but any other good suggestions. I am heading up to maryland in 2 weeks and wanted to make a few nice wine purchases while I was there.

I recently found myself having to do a bit of travelling for work, and during this trek I ended up with a fairly long layover in Charlotte International Airport (thanks mainly to weather ... why do light drizzles of rain cause so much trouble). Normally I dread long layovers, especially when they aren't planned, but Charlotte is one place where I don't tend to mind so much thanks to a wonderful find. This little gem I'm talking about is the Yadkin Valley Wine Bar right there in the airport, which is truly a home away from home for any wine lover.

Has anyone here tried the 2007 Casillero del diablo wines, any of them. The bottles are claiming it's one of their best years in a long time and so I'm curious to get other peoples opinions.

For this article I am going to take you all on a little trip down to St. Augustine Florida and the San Sebastian Winery. This was a very special trip for myself as it was my first ever visit to a winery in Florida (and another visit to a great winery with my Dad) and I must say that I was quite impressed with it all. Situated just a few blocks from the historic section of St. Augustine, this winery produces an array of good quality wines (and an absolutely amazing port).
