Pondering an Annapolis, MD - Macdonald Tasting

WINE TALK
1

I’m toying with the idea of opening a bottle of Macdonald 2022 in early-mid December this year to taste the vintage.

I wanted to invite (up to) 10 other local Berserkers if they’d like to join. 2 oz pour, no cost. Just the opportunity to try the wine.

Would host at Harvest Thyme Tavern in Davidsonville, MD. A friend owns the restaurant and would join for the tasting. I’m gauging interest, but should we decide to move forward, some logistics:

No cost for the taste, but any food/other drink would be on your own tab. Food is exception and you’ll be shocked at the wine list.

RSVP would be required.

Will likely occur on a Wednesday to not impact the restaurant - around 6 or 7 pm.

Why? I’d like to get to know others in the area that similarly love wine.

Wish I was in the area to give this a try!( I’m in California so not even close )

I love this idea and this is very generous of you. This is what wine is all about!

Interested! I’m based in Columbia MD - would love to meet more central MD winos.

Need to do this more often in Phoenix.

I’m interested if I can make logistics work (work, family, kids, carpools etc.). If you’re interested, I can bring a starter white or another red for the group to taste. My cellar is mostly old world.

Working with Rik at Harvest Thyme, we landed on Thursday, Dec 4th at 6:30 pm. If that works for you, DM me and I’ll put you on the RSVP list.

I’d be interested if @ehrlichdy would carpool with me. :grinning: I might be able to contribute an older MacD. :wink:

You have a deal @P_L_owet. Let’s do it!

I’d like to ask we not bring additional bottles, but instead we can pickup a bottle or a glass while we are there. The selection is outstanding and since Rik is not charging us for the use of the restaurant, I think it’s only fair to buy a glass while we are there.

I’ve had the 2022 many times, now, including last week at Bottega. It only needs a double decant for 1 hour. It’s gonna knock your socks off. It’s very powerful, dense and masculine. Lonnnnnng life ahead, but like most good 22s, can be enjoyed now if you can handle the tannin.
