5.0 out of 5 stars This pocket companion to MD wineries is long overdue., January 19, 1999

This review is from: Discovering Maryland Wineries (Paperback)

The vineyards are nestled in the most beautiful parts of the state and are succinctly described by the author. A great feature is the author's note on the uniqueness of each one. Yes, the type of wines produced and the winery itself are the focal points, but it is also the meeting of the people behind the vines that makes this book an indispensable guide.

This review is from: Discovering Maryland Wineries (Paperback)

This well crafted Notebook size "travel Guide" is ready to make you hit the road for the fine wines, places, and people discribed within Maryland and just across the Mason-Dixon line in Pennsylvania. The author is always to the point yet gives you a very complete feel for each resource discussed, regardless if it the pet dogs or cats of the people, the people, their place or the fine fellowship or food they offer in their pursuit of a good vineyard experience.

"On The Road Again"

Okay so Willy Nelson can't tell wine from Lone Star beer, however you will be able to find your way across a wonderful breath of phrases and sentences, art work and landscape with "Discovering".

The book even has a cover photo that is ready to let you touch the dew on the grapes on the front this jewel of handbook. The "bunch" of fine grape places indside makes sure you are ready to take off your shoes, jump in the car , and jump in the first vat of grapes to dance on thru the night until they tickle your taste buds.

Be sure to send this to old friends as gift and as an idea guide for friends to take some time off together from the high tech , high pressure world of the professional and place you soul on the trail to a full heart, a happy head (full of wine) high, and a taste the deep air together. The fellowship found in wine treasures and wonders of the road will pay for the book a thousand times over!

Keep you eyes and ears open for more from this message from the man in the know, Kevin Atticks, in Maryland as he wanders down the lane to more good memories for us all just waiting for the making, vats, vines and victuals to come true!
