I was mostly attracted to the event because of the participating distilleries and wineries starting with Oversea Distillery in Columbia and their Baijiu and whiskies. Then there was Pathfinder Farm Distillery and their red corn moonshine; rum galore from St. Michaels Maryland and Lyon Rum; sugar based moonshine from our friends at Rosie Cheeks and finally canned cocktails and craft spirits from Frederick’s Tenth Ward.
I specifically wanted to interact with Dodon Vineyards to learn more about their regenerative farming and expect much content and a site visit early next month. I was delighted to see the German inspired wine from Penn Oaks Winery and later the classic red wines from Black Ankle Vineyards. Mully’s Brewery represented Maryland craft brewers showcasing their unique expressions from southern Maryland.
Then there were oysters - should pair with the Dodon Sauvignon Blanc or could have previewed the Department of Agriculture’s beer and oyster program. There was plenty of dairy like Chesapeake Gold Farm & South Mountain Creamery. Mushrooms, pies, really delicious pies, lots of honey and a reminder for the Guinness Open Gate brewery Honey Ale coming out in March. More produce, My Dad’s Chips, and Rancher Shane’s Beef Jerky.
