Charles de Fere: Blanc de Blancs

I forgot what this tasted like, but it was dry and crisp. Affordable, I wish I had orange juice.

Clairette de Die Jaillance

I know I'm breaking the rules here. This is a sparkling wine. However, for those who do not like dry champagnes, this is an excellent choice. It is my de facto standard when I'm in MD. It is a little sweet due to the muscat grape. I wouldn't dare use this for mimosas. It's great without it.

Solomon's Island Mist

Blueberry Pinot Noir
Black Rasberry Merlot
Although both bottles are made in Maryland and appeared to be interesting, these $12 wines are a sham. At 6.5% alcohol, these are fruit juices and really lack any complexity. They were too sweet and even my parents-in-law didn't enjoy them. Never again.
