Albariño from Maryland? Albariño has found itself a second U.S. home in Maryland, where the Spanish variety is well suited to the Maryland climate. Modern winemaking in Maryland didn’t start until 1933 when Philip Wagner, a columnist with the Baltimore Sun, published American Wines and How to Make Them, based on his own vineyard experience. However it wasn’t until 1945 that Philip Wagner started the first commercial winery, Boordy Vineyards. Boordy offers this blisteringly fresh Albariño. This 2020 vintage displays a pale yellowish-green hue, with appealing aromas and flavors of tangerine, orange blossom, hay, peach, and lemon zest that is immensely delicious and mouth-watering. You need this for summer quaffing!
