Happy Stout (St. Patrick's) Day

My name is Kimberly, and Yes....... I'm a true wine lover. But today, things are different. It's the celebration of St. Patrick's Day! Let your green flags fly y'all. 

For the today's event, I've chosen a delicious, black chocolate stout. This beauty flaunts notes of deep dark chocolate, cold cocoa, hot coffee (black), hazelnut, and conac dipped cigar. At 10% alc, in this small little bottle..... Brooklyn Brewery's Black Chocolate Stout is definitely one for the "books" (I mean "blog"). I would pair with a dreamy all chocolate cupcake or white chocolate covered strawberries. What would you slurp on this stout with? 

Experience Maryland Wines.......

..... On the weekends of February 20-21 and February 27-28, 2016, Maryland has invited wine lovers to experience the vast adventures of MD wine. I will be enjoying the Antietam National Battlefield Wine Trail and the Capital Wine Trail. These trails are both near by and I am very interested in visiting some of the new wineries that have just opened within the past year or two. There are also a few meaderies that I want to try. Check back for thoughts on what I have found interesting. In the meantime, checkout the Maryland Wine Passport Experience website if you are interested in joining in on the fun. CHEERS!
