At Black Ankle Vineyards, we believe that the beautiful rolling hills of Maryland are perfectly suited to yield wines of great complexity, subtlety and nuance—wines that can compare favorably with the finest Europe has to offer. A truly great wine comes only from a truly great vineyard, and we believe that our mix of soils, climate, grape varieties, viticulture, personal commitment, and a bit of magic have been the secret to creating some wonderful wines, but don't take our word for it—come out and try them for yourself.
2010 was a big year for Flying Dog Brewery. Not only was it the brewery's 20th anniversary, The New York Times ranked its Doggie Style Classic Pale Ale as the #1 American Pale Ale in the U.S. Flying Dog is Maryland's largest brewery and its award-winning beers are distributed in 45 states and 20 countries. Stemming from the close friendship founder George Stranahan had with journalist Hunter S. Thompson and artist Ralph Steadman, Flying Dog's Gonzo values of purposeful, provocative irreverence run wild in everything it does.
