This was a very pleasant stop…read more Mike was working behind the counter when we arrived, and he was very helpful in helping us (and yes, I'm not a writer) to pick the meads for our flight. We took our four selections outside to one of their pavilions and enjoyed them, looking out over their vineyards. We tried two of their sparkling meads, the P.O.G and Juniper/Spruce Tips/Lemon, and two of their traditional meads, Druid and Jester. We liked the Juniper... and LOVED the P.O.G, so much so that we bought a bottle of it on our way out. The traditional meads were very heavy, kind of like a thick port. If you should find yourself in the middle of nowhere, this is a great place to stop, rest, and get your bearings.

We visited Big Cork on Saturday with a group of 14. Unfortunately, the weather was much colder and…read morewindier than we expected, and there was no space available inside. At that point it was also difficult to find another place for such a large group. Thankfully, Meghan from the Big Cork team truly made our day! She was incredibly kind, patient, and went above and beyond to help us with everything we needed. Thanks to her, we still had a wonderful time. We are very grateful for her help. We really liked Big Cork and look forward to coming back again when the weather gets warmer.

Met a buddy in Columbia for beer and in our discussion, we started taking wine, from Paso Robles to…read moreMaryland. He told me Maryland specialized in Cabernet Franc and Viognier and I knew nothing about Big Cork prior to arrival, but dad it was named as a top 10 tasting room by USA Today. Bold claim, especially coming from California. It was an absolutely beautiful day to visit Big Cory on Sunday. U called to confirm I didn't need a reservation, was told I didn't. That was nice, so I continued my drive to the winery, following three other vehicles that turned into the winery grounds. Ample parking, stunning grounds and views of the surrounding area. A big white building with a surround patio greeted me as I walked in, taking in the ambiance of the place. It was busy with patrons sitting outside, standing at mo sitting at the bar. I was greeted by an English chap, names Andy who said he works be right with me. Gave me a few minutes to look around and take in the experience. Andy greeted me and told me to grab any seat. Told him o was new to Maryland wine, as it was my first time at any winery outside of Paso Robles. I guts my expectations were high but I dialed them back as I ordered my tasting flight. Not a big white fan, I was impressed I'm with their Chardonnay, not buttery like the California. It was light, crisp and fruity. A very well done white. In fact I enjoyed it more than the Sauvignon Blanc, which if drinking a white I usually lean towards. Found this a bit too sweet. On to the reds, which is what I was reliably looking forward to. Andy took time to explain each wine, some characteristics and processes behind each glass. Their Meritage, a red blend was okay but was missing something for my liking. I did however enjoy the Cab Franc as single varietal. Never got to the Siberian Ice but was treated to the Syrah, Nebbiolo and Black Label Malbec. Those last two tasting were wonderful. My tastings done, I ordered a glass of the Rose Brut as I took care of Andy and my bill. I did walk out with a bottle of Chardonnay and Cab Franc. Overall a wonderful tasting with some good wines. Worth checking out but being from Paso I'm not going out of my way to find East Coast wines. I know what my palate enjoys but a little change now and then can be a good thing. If I get t girlfriend out, we will be back.

She graciously answered our questions and served us water, as we made our tasting selections. Michael served some of our wines and shared lots of insightful information about the wines we had selected. After our tasting, we sat outside by the fire pit for a bit and enjoyed the view. The drive up to the winery takes you off the beaten path and onto a gravel road, keep following the signs with the grapes that will lead you to the winery (a house), park in the driveway and prepare to enjoy the hospitality, view, and wine!
