Maryland Wine - Linganore’s Skipjack and Mountain White
December 11th, 2007 by PG Chic
Surprisingly, after months of blogging I have not mentioned Linganore Winecellars and Berrywine Plantations previously. The Linganore Vineyard is located in Mt. Airy, MD. I first went to Linganore during a Wine Festival where I discovered two of their semi-sweet grape wines Skipjack and Mountain White. Both are delicious wines if you enjoy a sweet wines. Their fruit wines are good too…Raspberry and Peach come to mind.
After independently discovering Skipjack as my favorite, I realized that there are quite a few Skipjack fans in the area. Linganore wines are available at several wine stores throughout Maryland, including Prince George’s County — see the Wine Finder to find retailers and restaurants. According to the Linganore Wine Finder, it looks like both Stonefish Grill and Gladys Knight and Ron Winan’s Chicken and Waffles serve Linganore wines. I have learned to buy early near holidays because Linganore wines, especially Skipjack, sells out often.
Since I’m talking about wine, I should also mention other favorites. Schmitt-Sohne Riesling is also a tasty dessert wine. White Merlot is a good blush for summer, similar to White Zinfandel, but generally not as sweet. As you can tell, dry white wines are not my favorite, but a Pinot Grigio is doable. If you’re into dry wines, I always hear good things about Yellowtail Chardonnay, but it’s too dry for my taste buds.
