Devotion to wine ranges from "just a fermented grape beverage" to
something bordering on religion. We’re somewhere in the middle—an
important, but not all consuming, part of life. We think wine is
about discovery. We’re especially passionate about discovering
Maryland wines and Maryland wine growing areas. Wines should be fun,
not intimidating. And not all wines suit all tastes. Some like big,
bold reds, while others prefer a lighter touch. Some like drier,
some like sweeter, but all are welcome in our tent.
Our 2 vineyards supply us with a diversity of grapes. Mountain Creek Vineyards, in the mountainous Catoctin region of western Frederick County and Harness Creek Vineyards in Annapolis, MD.
So, please take a look at our wine selections below. Some selections
are from Catoctin Vineyards, which is now part of Frederick Cellars. Regardless of your palate, you'll find a Frederick Cellars wine
to suit it.
