We went to Great Frogs today and the changes they've made are stunning. The barn tasting room is more charming than ever, the grounds are exquisite, and there's even a brand new restroom building. We are sure to have an incredible evening.
Great Frogs, literally minutes from downtown Annapolis, will be the site for our evening of great wine, great food, and great company... all with a local flair.
We are to celebrating the upcoming Buy Local Challenge Week (July 23-31). Hence our theme: Drink Local. Eat Local. Support Local. See the sidebar. With regard to wine, you can't get much more local than Great Frogs Winery.
And, July 22-31 - is
Maryland Wine Week, a celebration of Maryland wine, hard cider and mead produced by the 75+ wineries throughout Maryland! Drink Maryland wine and "Become a Locapour!"
Why is support of our local businesses and agriculture important?

Admission to our event is $25, and that includes not only a tasting of Great Frogs' terrific wines, but also a fabulous farm to table, organic, light appetizers buffet from La Prima Food Group, known for its award-winning catered events with environmentally friendly fare.
The wine tasting consists of seven Premium Wines, finishing with a full glass of your choice and souvenir Great Frogs Glass! $25 is the usual cost per person for Great Frogs tastings (without food) so this is a great value. We will have a limited amount of free non-alcoholic drinks available as well but the admission charge will apply as we are serving appetizers.
Winemakers Nate and Andrea O'Shea will donate a portion of the $25 charge back to Annapolis Green!The O'Sheas have been incredibly generous to Annapolis Green. We not only got the idea for our stave wall from theirs -- you'll see it in the tasting room -- they donated the staves we had engraved and, very importantly, the work of their expert carpenter, Lee King, to install them at the Annapolis Green House. We are very grateful for their continued support.
