Does anyone frequent any of the locals .?? Absolutely!
IMO you have to go a bit outside of the city to get to the good ones.
Black Ankle is 20 mins from my house (in Frederick Co) and we're wine club members. Best wines in the state, IMO.
Big Cork in Rohrsville is good too. Also wine members there.
Old Westminster is solid. Used to be members there.
Boordy in Harford Co is good too. Used to go to their chili festival. Good times.
Drawing blanks on some other ones...but Northern VA wineries are even better!

Black Ankle is Good
Basignaini is on Falls Rd just north of Shawan. They're good.
The best is still Dundon in Davidsonville.
At the club we belong to they have a wine tasting every couple of weeks. They had a Maryland wine tasting. I didn't really want to go. I was pleasantly surprised.

Basignani wasn't bad when we visited around Christmas. It was really bad for years.
Black Ankle is very good but a bit pricey. We belong to the wine clubs at Boordy & OWM. I have a certif for Dodon. Hope its as good as advertised.
Va is great for wines. Lots of good brews too. Not into the hard stuff.

I enjoy Linganore, they have some great bands play. And it doesn't hurt that they make my favorite wine!!🍷

I'd never heard of them either. From what I've read they are very Eco like Black Ankle.

We enjoy their first Fridays with music and have done their Valentine's day wine and chocolate/dessert events several times ..... We do the music on Friday night at black ankle often as well..... We have done several music events at linganore but not a fan of most of their wines as they are too sweet.....

Linganore was one of our early wine experiences. Our tastes have changed over the years. Can't drink the sweet stuff anymore. We did like the festivals.

They had a tasting at the wine club we belong to. It was really interesting and the wine is really good. They discovered that the terroir in parts of Maryland is almost identical some of the wine growing regions in France. www.dodonvineyards.com/

You couldn't get to the tasting bar. A lot of those DC types have moved to Lake Linganore. I have not been this year but it wasn't too bad when I was there last year. I want to focus on some new ones in VA since I'll be moving there soon.

There's some good ones right across the bridge to Harpers Ferry. The valley has some really good ones and there's always Charlottesville.

Linganore wines leave a lot to be desired, but they have some decent ones, and there's a Red Shedman brewery there too. The music festivals were always fun too but I haven't been to one in years.

It must be like "gay people". Such awful neighbors! They fixed up their house, made it really cute and their yard looks like a golf course! THE HORROR!

Sunset Hills is good also. You need to stop by Two Twisted Posts if you haven't already. We have been to all of them. I had RDV wine at a restaurant and it was very good but you need an appt to visit and a tour & tasting is $65.( ouch )
