It's not a roadtrip through California wine country, but it's just as good. Using Woodhall's Cabernet Franc as the launching point, a New Yorker has a surprisingly good weekend in Charm City.
Here's an excerpt:
"Then again, if I've learned anything from Baltimore over the years, it's that it is surprising. Known far and wide for many things that do not perhaps add up to a justifiable reason to run into its arms � kooky icons like
John Waters or as the setting for multiple
David Simon projects, to name two � there is the Baltimore the world sees, and then there is the city behind the image, just dying to be let out. Relaxed, modern, fun � far more appealing than the pile-up of depressing commercialism down on the Inner Harbor. Also, because it is Baltimore, people are generally really friendly.
This Baltimore you don't just pass through on your way to somewhere else; this Baltimore you stick around and get to know better."
