New DVD, “Discovering Maryland Wines with John DiTomasso”
Maryland has wineries? Yes, it surely does! In making "Discovering Maryland Wines," we attempted to address the most commonly asked questions about wine and winemaking in a compact, 57-minute video. We visited six of the approximately 30 commercial wineries in the state of Maryland to capture the whole wine cycle, from harvesting to bottling to pruning. We interviewed Kevin Atticks, Executive Director of the Maryland Wineries Association, and key people from Linganore Winecellars (the largest winery in the state), Boordy Vineyards (the oldest and next largest), Basignani Winery, Deep Creek Cellars, Fridays Creek Winery, and Loew Vineyards. The video begins with our interviewer John DiTomasso asking Kevin Atticks, “Are these wines good?” Might as well get that question out of the way right away! Discussions include pairing wine with food; proper glasses to use; fermenting in stainless steel tanks and in oak barrels; how aging in barrels affects the wine; what constitutes a dry wine, a sweet wine; how long reds and whites last in the bottle; storing wine; the best stoppers or closures to use; the optimal weather for growing grapes; and dealing with hungry "Critters" that want to share in the harvest.
