MO Wineries vs MD Wineries

MO is winning hands down!

Have been to 3 in MD now. Nothing like the MO wineries for sure. And they all charge to taste. The bottles of wine are much more expensive too.

1st stop:
Layton's Chance Vineyard & Winery
We participated in Game Night and that was a neat event. Boardgames, Wii, etc.
This place has Frappe Vino ~ like a wine slushy ~ it was good and different.
Bought two wine glasses for my collection.

2nd stop:
Costa Ventosa
5 bucks to taste all 8 wines and you get to keep the glass. Really like the colorful glass!

3rd stop:
St Michaels Winery
1 dollar per taste ~ I had 3 and got to keep the glass.

We didn't do these all the same day as they are way too far apart for that. I don't like to pay to taste unless I get the glass. Normally glasses are 2.50 to 3.00 a piece so if I pay 5 bucks to taste it is OK in my book if I get the glass. ;-P

So cons to MD wineries:
fees for tasting, expensive bottles of wine, settings are so so (corn field anyone?!)

pros to MD wineries:
they have a Maryland Wine Passport. @ the winery you get a code and a stamp unique to that winery and you can register online and earn points ~ just a fun added touch to the wine trails.
