Where ever I sat I noticed the warehouse that stretches along South Eutaw St. I didn\u2019t imagine the site of the stadium from within the warehouse though. On Saturday, the Drink Local Wine Conference held the Twitter Taste-Off of Maryland wines in the warehouse. Although the Orioles were not playing at home, there was a ball game going on followed by a wedding. The view of the field and stadium from the warehouse was great. This was an excellent choice for the setting for Maryland wines. Conference attendees arrived before the general public and had an hour to discover and taste wines from 21 Maryland wineries. Then at 4:00 there was a steady stream of traffic arriving for the tasting. The 300 tickets to the event were sold out days ago. Everyone appeared to have a good time.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping with conference grad tasting tradition, I wrote haikus for the wines I tasted. I didn\u2019t taste many wines since I was in the lobby hoping to sell and sign a copy of our book <em>A Wine Journey<\/em>. However, here are a few haikus from the event.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/041713b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-7942\" style=\"border: 5px solid transparent;\" title=\"041713b\" src=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/041713b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"282\" height=\"216\" \/><\/a>Twitter Taste-Off Haikus<\/p>\n<p>Dodan Sauvignon Blanc<\/p>\n<p><em>Dodon Sauvignon<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Hint of tropicals, lemon<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Light acid finish.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Linganore Chardonnay<\/p>\n<p><em>Smooth Chardonay light<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Linganore\u2019s newest label<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Bring on the seafood.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Royal Rabbit The Viscount<\/p>\n<p><em>Royal Rabbit blend<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Petite Verdot, Sauvignon<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Dark fruits meeting oak.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Basignani Sinistra<\/p>\n<p><em>Basignani port<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Sinistra shocases Cab<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Dried fruits, delicious.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Knob Hall Prestige<\/p>\n<p><em>A Merlot based blend\u00a0<\/em><br \/>\n<em>A Kiss of dark fruits slight oak\u00a0<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Admiration red.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Catoctin Breeze Dolce Vita<\/p>\n<p><em>Dolce Vita sweet<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Raspberries, blueberries, and<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Marionberries.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<br \/>\nTerry<\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"owbutton\" src=\"http:\/\/www.onlywire.com\/button\" title=\"Twitter Taste-Off at Camden Yards\" url=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/?p=7940\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve spent many an evening at Oriole Park at Camden yards watching a ball game.
