Heard on the grapevine that the Frederick Wine House one of my favorite, ok let’s be honest, my favorite wine store in Frederick County will be relocating. They are going to move to a location in the new shopping center off Route 26. This will be the same location as where the Wegmans is going in. Construction [...]

Frog Eye Farm
Frog Eye Farm is open for business! They finally put the sign out front. However this year the farm is only open on weekends. They have tons of blueberries.

Brunswick Farmers Market
The Brunswick farmer’s market is now being held on Wednesdays from 4-7 p.m. This is a change from last year. The location is the same, but I haven’t had a chance to go this year so no current reports on it. Here are my comments from last year. Anyone else been this year and care to comment?

Best Wine Store in Frederick County?
The other day I had about thirty minutes to kill in Urbana, so I went into the Urbana Liquors to check it out. I had never been there before, and to be blunt it didn’t impress me. Sometimes when you walk into a store you can immediately tell if the people running it have a passion [...]

I’m back and with pickles
Sorry the posts have been so few and far between. Brought two new employees into my company and went on vacation for a week so it’s been crazy. I’ll try to do better. So yesterday I was thinking about pickles as I was eating lunch. As long-term readers know I am a big fan of Michael [...]
