Soup and Wine Festival

[wondersofwine]

Some wine shops in Ellicott City may still carry Montbray wines produced by Dr. Hamilton Mowbray. He was a professor at Johns Hopkins who became interested in wines after spending time at Cambridge University. He bought a dairy farm near Westminster, MD and planted vines and began making wines. Came up with some more than decent wines over the years. He also taught noncredit classes in wine appreciation at the University of Maryland Center of Continuing Education or Adult Education or whatever its called. I took a couple wine classes from him after returning from my first tour in Germany.
