Other wines will have more common names, but if you attend the Weird Wine event on Sunday, you will likely discover why they are weird. Look for unusual ingredients some winemakers are using in their wines such as coffee and locust blossoms.

We have visited Big Cork Vineyards who produces the Russian Kiss wine. At the time we tasted the 2013 Russian Kiss and wrote this description, “Russian Kiss 2013 was a blend of three grapes including XIV, SK-77 and Muscat Canelli. The pale yellow colored wine offered a very floral aroma with tropical fruit notes. The taste was of orange blossoms, mango, peach and nectarine. The finish was crisp with a long aftertaste of fruit.

If you are looking for a fun wine tasting event, the Weird Wine event sponsored by the Maryland Wineries Association and Baltimore Magazine, might be just what you are looking for.

Cheers!
