Wineries near Sharpsburg

“Great place to hang out with a nice glass/bottle of wine and listen to some Incredible music.“

“Visited today. What a great experience. Gary and Suzanne, husband/ wife who own and run the place, did the tasting. First, what a great couple. The tasting room is in their home and is the nicest place I've been. The wines were all very good to outstanding. We left with 8, the couple with us also 8, plus we had a bottle there. Every wine was well explained as to its making and what to expect. The attention to detail and personal service were exceptional.But you have to make appointment. Google is misleading. Not the owners' fault. It's their home and a small winery. But well worth calling ahead.“

“Big Cork is a colossal space, with a white-dominant, modern interior and views of the countryside that are bucolic and relaxing. It's an example of minimalist design done well. The first time that I walked in, I was taken aback -- it's a sensory experience to a certain extent. The wine-tasting area and restaurant are all rolled into one. A long bar in the middle of things is snowy white and seems to stretch out endlessly. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable about wine and Big Cork's viticulture -- a plus. Big Cork grows Petite Verdot, a red grape used in classic Bordeaux blends and one that I'm crazy about. Am happy to now have a source so close. I'm told their Petite Verdot has won a fair number of awards. Another one of their wines that's light and bright is Russian Kiss. This white wine brims with pear and citrus high notes, complementary earthy undertones and crisp finish. Rohrersville is a bit of a drive for me, living in DC. But one that I will gladly make.“
