We have been making wine at home, at a winery in Virginia (LaGrange) and Tin Lizzie Wineworks in Laurel, Maryland.  Yesterday we learned that Tin Lizzie, an educational winery, is already looking for anyone interested in learning about winemaking and making a barrel of wine this fall.

According to the email, we received, Tin Lizzie expects to receive grapes from Stagecoach vineyards in California. For those who are interested in the drink local wine movement, the winery will also be sourcing grapes from Maryland.

Tin Lizzie has kept their prices the same since opening. Costs to operate have risen including rapes, bottles, corks, barrels etc. Until the end of July 2010, the prices to participate in producing a barrel of wine will remain the same. However, after that they expect the price to up about five percent. If you are thinking about making wine at Tin Lizzie, contact Tin Lizzie before July 31.
