Yesterday we visited one of the Union Jack restaurants in Maryland. We met with a group of Howard County residents to have a relaxing conversation during the very late afternoon. Conversations covered many topics including references to a recently started book club that had just met earlier to discuss Wallace Stegners’s Crossing to Safety. Information was shared about wine, gardening (including Aerogardens) and shopping online.

While we talked we ordered beverages and different foods. Many people ordered the delicious looking pizzas, gourmet soft pretzels or taco chips. Beverages included cocktails and wines.

Terry and I ordered the Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc. The wine was a light yellow color. The wine was light, fruity and refreshing. The Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc at Union Jack was $8 per glass.

Since I enjoyed the wine I decided to check it out online and discovered that Total Wine has the wine available for $6.97 for a 750ml bottle and $14.99 for 1.5L

In addition to Sauvignon Blanc Monkey Bay winery produces: Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Rosé and Merlot. Check out the Monkey Bay website where you will discover the legend of Monkey Bay.

Cheers!
