I have been writing about Black Ankle Vineyards since 2010. That’s a nice long time. And I am so happy to be able to say that I am still in love with their wines. Black Ankle Vineyards has been a leader in East Coast wines since they opened their doors! Ed Boyce and Sarah O’Herron have done a remarkable job growing their winery as well as improved the quality every year. I was lucky enough to taste some of their newest wines at the Maryland Governor’s Cup with wine educator Dennis Smith, and Janna Howley of Maryland Wine. All three of the wines were among the most remarkable of the tasting.Read more… first comment@blackanklevineyards @marylandwine @katticks

True Standard Distilling is a family-run distillery in Frederick, Maryland, known for its award-winning, Maryland-made rum and other spirits, with a tasting room that offers cocktails, mocktails, and a welcoming atmosphere for visitors. They focus on combining traditional distilling techniques with a modern twist, inspired by founders’ travels, and often host special events and pop-ups in their historic building.
True Standard Distilling is owned by the husband-and-wife team Brian and Ashley Allen. The Maryland-based craft distillery and tasting room, known for its rum, is located at 10 N. Carroll Street in downtown Frederick. Chantel Starks is the head distiller. My two favorites were the Dangerous Summer Reserve Rum and the Dangerous Summer Dark Spiced Rum.
Dangerous Summer Oxford Reserve Rum is a big rum, with hints of toasted oak,
bananas foster, caramel, vanilla, and candied fruit, But it’s not as sweet as it smells. There’s also a nice touch of tobacco. Smooth. Subtle. Approachable. A perfect substitute for rye in a Sazerac cocktail.
Dangerous Summer Dark Spiced Rum is a rich, dark spiced rum infused with spice, molasses, and a nice dose of oak. Hints of dark cocoa and caramel. Lovely note oftobacco too. The spice is pronounced. Hard to describe, but to me, its a hint ofmamajuana spice. This is a fragrant but smooth, big chewy rum, with a touch of spicy bite at the end. Very fun! You could drink it alone, or use it in your favorite spice rum cocktail.
Great stuff from True Standard. @truestandarddistilling @marylandspirits @katticks#rum

The Finger Lakes first claim to fame was bubbles. One of the largest producers of sparkling in the nation at one time. Now, New York is bubbling again! In the last decade, more and ore sparklers, from fresh, fun, and zippy to classic, elegant, and sophisticated, have brought a new shine to the region! I’ve included Pet Nats, forced carbonation, and classic in bottle fermentation. Here are some of the top sparklers, from across a spectrum, worth checking out from the Finger Lakes. @newyorkwines_kr @hearthandswine @glenmanorvineyards @rias_wines@scoutvineyards@drfrankwine @ravineswine@hermannjwiemer @lamoreauxwine @silverthreadwine @lakewoodvineyards @billsborowinery @hearthandswine @redtailridgewinery @keukaspringvineyards @foxrunvineyards @damianiwinecellars
