ASSI - I received a phone call around 10:30 a.m. on Sunday morning asking if I was interested in going to the Reggae Wine Festival. I am a connoisseur of good Red Wine and have always enjoyed attending tastings, so the music could have been folk and I would have gone. Berrywine Planations is located in Mt. Airy, Maryland off of Interstate 70. There were four entrances and for $15.00 you receive a goblet glass and entry into the space reserved for the wine tasting and outdoor concert. The layout consisted of the Wine Pavilion, located near entrance A, the restrooms were to the left of the pavilion, to the right were additional art vendor and four food vendors. There was a tent area was located between entrance B and C, the picnic area was to the right of the tent area, and the state was right in front of the picnic area. To the right of the picnic area was Bacioni tasting and sales room to the north right was about 12 port-a-potties and behind the portable restrooms was the Abisson room where tours of the vineyard every half hour, so we didn't have to walk far in the 98 degree temperatures to enjoy all that the Berrywine Planations had to offer. Although there were about 24 different wines present, I was disappointed that the only brand of wine available was Linganore Wine, and I preferred the Steeple Chase Red but purchased a bottle of Sangria. The wine sold for $11.00 to $20.00 a bottle. I tried most of the wine available but was partial to the Red. The wine tasting/outdoor concert was over at 6 p.m., which was most ideal for a Sunday affair. As I see it we had a nice shaded spot, people were having a good-time, the food was priced right, and the music was okay. I give the Reggae Wine Festival 3 blinks.
