Last week was my best friend’s birthday, and so we went out in Rockville, MD to celebrate! A recommendation from a coworker, we tried out La Canela in Rockville Town Center. It was just a double date, but I love going to Peruvian places with Tyler since he studied abroad in Peru and can judge authenticity. Two thumbs up from Tyler! They started us off with an amouse-bouche, or a complimentary chef appetizer. I can’t quite remember what they called it, but it was basically a savory fried pastry wrapped around a ceviche center. It was quite tasty, and the…

Continue ReadingOrchid Cellars is actually a meadery and winery! In the interest of not having a bajillion categories, I file this under winery with Ciderworks, even though they’re a little less traditionally “winery”. They’re both perfect stops to make on the Antietam wine trail to add a little something different to your outing! This little baby here (actually not so little anymore) is actually one of the first reasons we ventured up to the Antietam Wine Trail at all. A friend grew up in the area and frequented Orchid Cellars with his mom, and he used to bring back all varying…

While most of the wineries we typically go to are out toward western Virginia, occasionally we’ll make the trek up to Maryland! There’s some nice places up there too, and specifically some unique places. The Orchid Cellar Meadery is one (post to come!) and Ciderworks is another!

G’dday ladies and gentleman, and welcome to the Renaissance Faire of ye olde! Jk, I’m not going to type the whole post like that. Mostly because I had to think even long and hard about that one sentence! But I wanted to share with everyone the fun we have at the now annual Renaissance Fair escapade! My sister has gone with some of her college friends for a lot longer than I have (this was only my second year). But now that I’m in the area, I get to tag along, and also provide a place to crash! It’s a…

So I know I promised you my review on Mediterranean Cellars in my post last week about quattro goomba winery, but I’ve elected to postpone that post in favor of a shout out to the place in Baltimore that we had dinner for J’s bachelorette party! I figured that was a little more timely, and besides, I wanted to dish on some of the details of the weekend. So keep an eye out for that Mediterranean Cellars post, I promise it’s coming! I’ve known J for what’s going on 6 years–wow can you imagine? We met through our sorority in college, but at Bucknell…
