Tucked off the road in a small shopping center, so much that I thought I made a wrong turn. The sky opened up as I was pulling in so I sat in the car and waited for the storm to pass. When the rain let up just enough, I made a run for the awning and went inside. The wine cellar is attached to a wine bar, and I can already see how easy it would be to stop in for a glass and an appetizer while you figure out what you want. Putting that on the list for next time. What I will say is the store is more than just the first area you walk into. Take a right down a small open hallway and you find more selections with some discounted bottles and some great buys worth exploring. Four people working inside and one came over as I began to look around. She asked if I needed help finding anything and I asked where the pinot noirs and cabs were. Her first question back was where from? I was a little taken back since I usually like to browse by region once I get to the section. I asked for suggestions instead. Her next question really sent me. What is your pricing point? I threw out $20 and she pointed me to a few lower shelf selections that other people said were good. WOW! I took pictures of her suggestions for reference and pulled up Claude to help me make my own find that did not limit me to what others thought based on my pricing point. I made my selection and checked out. Tap to pay made it a breeze. While I was there, I noticed another customer come in and a different helper suggested wine based on taste and not pricing point. That contrast said everything. I did stop to grab the small bottle of bourbon sitting at the register since I do love bourbon and it is not normally a cheap liquor. Decent but not as memorable as others I have had. The Juggernaut red blend I selected was $20 and fine for the night. Not my favorite but did the job. Later at my friend's home I shared my experience. She is a luxury event planner and her, and her mom have hosted countless events for politicians and community leaders at their waterfront property. Their experience at Wine Cellars of Annapolis was similar to mine. Shocking for sure! A store this close to waterfront properties that host high end events should be the first call for every bottle on that table. That is a missed opportunity that matters. While this place has potential, leading with pricing point over taste cuts off the opportunity to help a customer expand their palate beyond what they can remember their last bottle cost. That is the kind of guidance that builds loyalty and brings people back. A cellar worth gathering at starts with how you make people feel when you walk in and that still needs some work here.

While wandering around town during my Fourth of July weekend solo adventure, I decided to duck into the LYON RUM Distillery & Golden Hour Rum Room to escape the heat for a bit. I'd heard good things, figured a little rum tasting sounded like a perfectly reasonable vacation activity and, let's be honest, rum and vacation seem to go together. I stopped in on a Friday afternoon and found a handful of people already inside chatting, tasting rum and enjoying the space. One of the first things I noticed had nothing to do with the rum itself. It was the tasting room. I've visited a few tasting rooms over the years, but this one had so much personality. The décor was warm, colorful and thoughtfully put together. It felt inviting without trying too hard, and I immediately found myself looking around almost as much as I was looking at the bottles. It wasn't just a place to sample rum. It felt like a place you'd genuinely want to spend some time. The woman behind the tasting counter couldn't have been friendlier. She explained that I was welcome to sample any of the complimentary tasting offerings. Since I'm definitely not a liquor expert, I decided to keep things simple and chose the coconut and pineapple rums. The coconut was an immediate winner for me. It was incredibly smooth with just the right tropical flavor. Honestly, I could picture myself putting a bottle in the refrigerator on a hot summer day and pouring a little into a glass while sitting outside watching the sunset. As I said...dangerous. The pineapple rum was good too, but the pineapple means business! It lets you know immediately that you're drinking rum. As someone who doesn't drink much liquor, it packed a little more punch than I personally enjoy. I can absolutely see why someone who loves both rum and pineapple would gravitate toward it, but for me the coconut was the clear favorite. There were plenty of other varieties available to sample, but I knew my limits and decided two tastings were the perfect amount for me. Instead, I spent a few more minutes browsing the shop and taking everything in. I was pleasantly surprised by the prices, especially considering the rum is handcrafted in small batches right there in St. Michaels. I also love supporting businesses that are proud of where they are, and LYON RUM clearly embraces its Eastern Shore roots. You can feel that throughout the entire experience. PRO TIP: Even if you aren't a big liquor drinker, stop in anyway. The complimentary tastings are a fun way to try something new, the tasting room is beautiful and if you're visiting during one of Maryland's summer heat waves...the air conditioning alone is worth the stop! If you're spending time in St. Michaels, I'd absolutely recommend adding LYON RUM to your itinerary. Come for the rum, stay for the atmosphere and don't be surprised if you leave wishing you'd bought a bottle of the coconut rum!

I have been a longtime fan of Lyon Rum, but unfortunately, that's no longer the case…read more I recently visited the Golden Hour Rum Room and was extremely disappointed by the lack of hospitality. It was over 100 degrees outside, and there was an extreme heat warning in effect. When I walked in, I realized the Rum Room was operating by reservation only that day, which I completely understood. However, because of the dangerous heat, I simply asked for a glass of water. The hostess refused to provide one. I would have happily paid for bottled water or any available option, but the complete unwillingness to offer even a glass of water during extreme heat was disappointing and showed a lack of basic customer care. Based on this experience alone, I would give zero stars if I could. It's unfortunate because I had been a loyal supporter of Lyon Rum for years, but this experience has completely changed my opinion.
