Event

The Wines of Maryland's First Families

Drink like one of Maryland's first wine enthusiasts! Wine expert Ian Stalfort from The Wine Source will guide us through a unique wine flight that highlights the types of wines that were imported into Maryland over 200 years ago, featuring some of Europe's great old wine houses:

Bollinger Special Cuvee NV (France, Champagne)
Merkelbach Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Spatlese 2008 (Germany, Mosel)
Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru 2006 (France, Burgundy)
Duhart Milon (Lafite) Paulliac 2006 (France, Bordeaux)
Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage 2005 (France, Rhone Valley)
Guiraud Sauternes 2006 (France, Bordeaux)
Blandy's Malmsey 1990 (Portugal, Madeira)

The event takes its thematic cue from Homewood Museum's current exhibition, "Cheers! The Culture of Drink in Early Maryland." Explore the exhibition after-hours, hear brief remarks at 6 p.m. by guest co-curator Catherine Thomas Burnett, and enjoy a wine tasting and light refreshments in Homewood's original wine cellar.
