Bedlam 2007 - Tasting Notes


Black Ankle Vineyard Grand Opening

Black Ankle Vineyards was a pleasant surprise. The facility was the perfect blend of Tuscany, South West America, and the Maryland Country side. The tasting room was immaculate and cozy complete with a fireplace beckoning our return on a cold winter day. The party room opens to a a bounty of outdoor seating and a toy box so even children have the opportunity to enjoy the culture of winemaking. Grand Opening was warm, happy and full of life, yes the mere fact children were racing around, blankets and picnic baskets were open and the wine was flowing made a warm November day truly grand.

Oh, and the wine. What a Surprise! I would have never guessed a local winery could produce a wine that taste straight from Napa Valley. Smooth and gentle, what they lack in value they make up in taste and ambiance. A definite must taste and experience.
