The Wino and I Know

Wassail Cocktail (the wassail-tail)

Last night before going out, I was faced with a conundrum. What to drink for the night?

I had half a bottle of Boordy Wassail (a German style  mulled wine), lemon flavored vodka, and Tang powder.

The combination was great! After I put the vodka in the Wassail it tasted a tad too strong for me. Adding the Tang powder balanced out the Wassail and vodka combination. An added bonus of the Tang powder is the level of vitamin c in Tang, which is especially great during the current cold and flu season!

Try out the Wassail-tail the next time you are looking for a new festive drink!

"Wino and I Know" Business Cards!

The first Wino and I Know business card was a bit of a fail... I am so excited for the new and improved version to ship from vistaprint! Let me know what you think!

"Do you know where the wine is,” slurred one already-overindulged participant at the Autumn Wine Festival wobbling in front of a sampling station last weekend.

Salisbury University senior Sam Kempf started the day knowing little about wines, but was given the chance to learn while working at the Boordy Vineyards stand.

“I learned about the different types of wine categories and the nuances that encompass each,” he said.

Kempf said Boordy harnesses the uniqueness of Maryland by using apples grown and harvested in Harford County in its Chilled Apple wine. The winery advertises its 100 percent apple wine to be “as close as a wine can get to an apple without hanging from a tree!”

From dry to sweet, white to red, the options seemed nearly endless. The samples satisfied any palate.

“The younger, hip crowd goes for the sweet, fruity stuff,” observed sophomore Sean Keating, who also worked at Boordy.

I was given the wonderful opportunity to work with Sam and Sean at the Boordy tent. Due to my internship at Boordy I was able to give Sam, Sean, and other festival goers a detailed descriptive and informative wine tasting, or simply pour them the wine they requested.

This wine festival didn’t target the younger college crowd, but it did provide an opportunity to unwind on the weekend and learn about wine.
