The roots of Maryland winemaking are surprisingly deep. The state's first known vines were planted in 1648, and a later Marylander, John Adlum, established his place as the father of American viticulture. In the twentieth century, post-Prohibition pioneers like Philip Wagner and Ham Mowbray nurtured a new crop of daring and innovative winemakers who have made the state an up-and-coming wine region. Author Regina Mc Carthy travels through the red tobacco barns of southern Maryland and the breezy vineyards of the Eastern Shore all the way to the Piedmont Plateau and the cool mountain cellars of the west in search of the state s finest wines and their stories. Join Mc Carthy as she traces over 350 years of the remarkable and robust history of Maryland wines.

Reading Regina Mc Carthy's Maryland Wine: A Full-Bodied History was truly a joy! Mc Carthy walks you through not only the history of Maryland's wine, but also the history of each of Maryland's wineries with a methodical voice. This book is written in a way that makes you feel as though a good friend is sitting in front of you -- a delicious glass of wine in-hand, of course -- telling you the stories of some of Maryland's best winemakers. If you're a wine-lover -- of Maryland wine or wine in general -- this book MUST be added to your collection!

The author, Regina Mc Carthy, has written an informative book about Maryland's history of wine. Mc Carthy divided Maryland Wine: A Full-Bodied History into eight chapters. Some of the topics include Maryland's beginnings in wine and grapes, the organizing of the Maryland winery industry, the role of the Maryland legislature and the future of the wine industry in Maryland. Certainly in the past the Maryland wine industry has had its ups and downs.
