BOORDY VINEYARDS HYDES MARYLAND USA
My husband and I did the wine tasting and tour of the Boordy Vineyard in Hydes, Maryland at the end of May. The wine is 'very' good. The tour guide Pat did a fantastic job explaining the process that a grape goes through from the beginning to the end product, wine. The Vidal Blank is aromatic, not too sweet and very enjoyable. I like how the bottle labels have a different symbols of the state's culture and environment on them.
The following I copied from the video BOORDY VINEYARD-MARYLAND
It tells about the vineyard better than I can.
Located in Hydes, Maryland, Boordy Vineyards was founded by Philip and Jocelyn Wagner, who established Marylands first commercial winery in 1945. Boordy is probably best known for introducing new varieties of French hybrid grapevines throughout the United States in the 1930s. Since 1980, Boordy has been owned by the R.B. Deford family, and is located on their historic 240-acre farm in the Long Green Valley of northeastern Baltimore County. The winery is housed in a 19th century stone barn whose thick walls keep the wine at cellar temperatures throughout the year.
Proprietor and winemaker Rob Deford attended UC Davis, but as he put it, there was never any doubt that I would come back here to Maryland to make wine. This was his home. Boordy currently produces 70,000 gallons of wine annually. In addition to the three generations of Estate vines, forty acres of grapes are cultivated in the Long Green Valley (Central Piedmont region) and in the Catoctin Mountains of western Maryland. Varieties grown include chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot, petit verdot, seyval blanc, and vidal blanc. Boordys winemaker since 1986 has been Tom Burns.

** About The Chesapeake Wine Region **
The Eastern Shore of Maryland wine growing region is positively effected by the Chesapeake Bay - an estuary, a body of water where fresh and salt water mix. It is the largest of more than 100 estuaries in the United States and third largest in the world. In many ways it is shaping one of Maryland's fastest growing wine regions - The Eastern Shore of Maryland.
The soil is sandy and well-drained, and the climate is both moderated and protected by the bay waters, effecting warm days and cool nights perfect for grape growing!
The surge of fresh water into the upper bay provides the beneficial cooling breezes for vineyards. The saltier water moving up the bay veers toward the Eastern Shore. Saline waters in general compound evaporation effecting less intense rainfalls - helpful for the optimal harvest timing for optimal grapes.
Crow in particular is located in the Rivers to Canal Wine Corridor, just north of Chestertown. It is surrounded by three nearby bay rivers West, North and South of its location with sufficient elevation for cooling breezes. The C&D Canal at the North head of the corridor furthers the moderating influences of the bay.
** The Eastern Shore terroir is a fantastic growing region. The soil is essentially loam, a highly fertile soil rich in nutrients and organic matter. Because it contains these three types of soils, it proudly boasts the two best qualities that a soil should have for growing grapes. The Eastern Shore climate is moderated/protected by the bay waters, effecting warm days and cool nights perfect for grape growing! Grapes are being grown up and down the Bay shoreline from the upper shore to the lower shore. Almost any style of grape can do reasonably well here. Maryland's Eastern Shore is located on the upper Chesapeake Bay, which is less prone to ocean climatic swings than the lower bay helping to provide a climate lock where temperature averages and extremes are very similar and more predictable for the grower.

Tommie Robinson to serve as seventh Africana Artist-in-Residence | UNC Charlotte | March 19th 2015
Local painter Tommie Robinson is the 2015 Africana Artist-in-Residence; this year’s theme for the residency is “Art, Environment and Race.”
Robinson will be in residence in the Africana Studies Department from Monday, March 9, through Friday, March 20. During his visit, co-sponsored with the College of Arts + Architecture, and in conjunction with the Latibah Collard Green Museum, Robinson will present “The Art of Environment and Race” at 2 p.m., Thursday, March 19, in the Cone University Center, McKnight Hall. On March 20, at 6 p.m., there will be an opening reception for Robinson’s exhibit “Environment and Social Justice” at the Latibah Collard Green Museum (720 Tuckaseegee Rd.) In addition, Robinson will facilitate a number of student-focused presentations on the relationship between his art and the environment, race and issues of social justice.
Described as the “first black artist in the Guild of Charlotte Artists,” Robinson works in oil, acrylic, water color, egg tempura and graphite. His art addresses a wide range of issues, from the experience of the Africa-descended population in the United States to urban life, the environment, racism and sexism.
A self-taught artist, Robinson recalled his interest in art began around age 8 following his father’s death. He explained that as part of the grieving process, he tried to do a portrait of his father. “I finally got a likeness about age 13,” he added.
He joined the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War and was stationed in Germany. Upon his honorable discharge, Robinson enrolled at Central Piedmont Community College on the GI Bill to pursue an arts degree. He was later hired by the college to teach painting and ceramics.
Since then, Robinson has exhibited nationally. In Charlotte, his paintings have been displayed at the Mint Museum, the Gantt Center for African American Arts and Culture and the McColl Center. His work also has been shown at UNC Chapel Hill, Pfeiffer College, Davidson College and North Carolina Central University.
Long-time friend and fellow artist T.J. Reddy, the inaugural Africana Artist-in-Residence, has described Robinson as “one of the most competent, capable and consistent artists I know.”
Starting in 2009, the Africana Studies Department has collaborated with the College of Arts + Architecture, with support from the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, to sponsor the Africana Artist-in-Residence program. Its goal is to showcase the work of artists whose original perspectives and creative energy advance a deep understanding of the experiences of Africana people worldwide. Past artists include Tayo Aluko, an award-winning performer known for his work on Paul Robeson (2010); dancer John Perpener III (2011); illustrator Barbara Higgins Bond (2012); master woodcarver Kasali Akangbe (2013); and baritone Emery Stephens (2014).
