Running Hare Vineyard
I got this invitation that came through my email last week. The invitation was from the Salisbury Alumni network telling us about a wine tasting at the Running Hare Vineyard in Prince Frederick. Here’s an article in the post for some more background on the vineyard.
I have to say we had an excellent time. We got to chat with Mike Scarborough, SU class of ‘76, and his lovely wife, as well as some other fellow alums. Even better the wine was great. We got to sample some wine from Mike’s personal cellar.
The wines from his vineyard aren’t bad either. Five of the six Running Hare wines they submitted last month in the Governor’s Cup Competition, sponsored by the Maryland Wineries Association, won some sort of award. We ended up bringing home bottles of the Pinot Grigio, Jack Rabbit Red, and Jack Rabbit White.
Now we’ve gone to Linganore before for their wine festivals and those are great. Still, it was pretty exciting to visit a winery in our back yard. I mean, Southern Maryland now has five winery’s. Besides Running Hare, you’ve got Perigeaux Vineyards and Winery, Cove Point Winery, Fridays Creek Winery, and Solomons Island Winery. Who’d a thunk my beloved Calvert County would be a wine mecca.
We’ve sampled some of the wines from the others at a recent festival but might have to take some time and stop by their vineyards for a visit. I certainly recommend stopping by Running Hare.
