 Free In-Store Producer Tasting with: Severine Schlumberger of Domaine Schlumberger (Alsace, France) We are estate winegrowers who exclusively harvest and produce our own wines. We do not buy any grapes nor juice or wine (Alsatians winegrowers represents only 22% of the regional production). A family vineyard established since 1810, nowadays, we are two generations working side by side for a better handover; Alain Beydon-Schlumberger, 6th generation, and Séverine Schlumberger, 7th generation. This vineyard is unique in Alsace : 140 hectares with 70 hectares classified as Grands Crus composed of 4 “terroirs” : Kitterlé, Kessler, Saering, Spiegel. An exceptional location. Situated on the steep hillsides of the Vosges, the vineyard benefits from the best exposures (southwest, south, southeast); its slopes can reach 50°. Because of the Vineyard’s topography and the soil composition we have much lower yields than the average yield of other winegrowers in the region : less than 60 hl/ha for the entire Domaine. A craft work that respects environment. Even today, we plough and work with the 4 horses owned by the Domaine. All year long, a team of 4 highly 4 highly masons mend and maintain the 50 kms of walls. We also respect sustained farming (we signed the Tyflo Charter in 2001). 60 hectares are organicacally farmed, of which 30 hectares are in biodynamic farming, to ensure great, quality wines for the future generations. 3601 Elm Ave Baltimore, MD 21211 410.467.7777
 Free In-Store Producer Tasting with: California's Burgess Cellars Burgess traces its origins to an original winery on the property in the 1880's. Since 1972, Napa Valley pioneer Tom Burgess and his family have followed the belief that it is vital to grow only those varietals ideally suited to a particular vineyard's soil composition, sun and wind exposure, and overall micro-climate. The French refer to this as "terroir," and it certainly explains the consistent aromas and flavors found in the hillside Burgess Cabernet Sauvignon. Over the years three distinct estate vineyard sites have been cultivated and nurtured to create the very best handcrafted wines. The Burgess flagship wine, Cabernet Sauvignon, thrives on the western slopes of Howell Mountain near the winery; Merlot is ideally suited to the Triere Vineyard on the Napa Valley floor in the Oak Knoll AVA just south of Yountville; Syrah is perfectly matched to conditions in the estate vineyard site on the eastern slope of Howell Mountain. Burgess is somewhat unique in the Napa Valley today, in that it is truly a family-owned winery which has employed the same gifted winemaker, Bill Sorenson, since the winery's re-birth in 1972. 3601 Elm Ave Baltimore, MD 21211 410.467.7777 |
 
 Free In-Store Producer Tasting with: Winemaker Eric Baugher of California's Ridge Vineyards A native Californian, Eric grew up on a small ranch in the Santa Cruz Mountains where he raised animals, planted gardens and orchards, and rode horses. His love of the area kept him there for college; he attended UC Santa Cruz, receiving undergraduate degrees in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. In 1994 he joined Ridge and in his first year, he organized the laboratory and developed new sophisticated analytical tests to support Ridge's traditional winemaking practices. In 1995, he took on production management and now oversees all day-to-day winemaking activities. His passion for wine and the stimulating juxtaposition of low-tech winemaking and high-tech analytic techniques keeps him totally involved and constantly inspired. 3601 Elm Ave Baltimore, MD 21211 410.467.7777
