The Taste of Quebec

May 29, 2013 – 6:06 am

At Vignoble de la Rivière du Chène we met an intern from France. Before she came to Quebec, people asked her why she wanted to go to Quebec. Can they make wine and grow grapes there? This is similar to a statement made to me about the lack of grape growing in the province. Kathy […]

Korak 2009 Chardonnay Sur Lie

May 23, 2013 – 4:51 pm

Reflections on Drink Local Wine 2013

April 18, 2013 – 6:48 am

When we learned that the 2013 conference for Drink Local Wine was to be held in Maryland, our home state, we were happy that we didn’t have to travel far for the conference. We had just returned from Europe for a conference so distance was on our minds. I did wonder how Maryland wines would […]
