Italian Beer Tasting and Stump Jump Wine Tasting

By Greg B. So I traveled down to the Perfect Pour to check out an Italian beer tasting, once again bringing my labmates with me.  In this post, I’ll start with the beers, then move onto the wines.  Why, you ask?  Because I left any real good reliable note-taking material in the lab, so my notes are scattered and extremely illegible, even by my standards.  So here we go, Italian Beers!

Corridor Wine Tasting: Spanish & Portuguese Wine

By Greg B. So, having spent the morning and early afternoon in College Park both searching for parking and at a lecture, Gabi and I were returning back to campus in Baltimore.  However, we were in the mood for a minor adventure.  After taking random exits and looking for something interesting, we basically gave up and just decided to stop by Corridor Wines, since at the very least it’s cool to see a giant warehouse of wines.  But after entering, we realized they were having a wine tasting!  Some wines from the previous night’s fundraiser and some other new Portuguese wines.  Gabi and I then tasted all the wines, and here are our tasting comments.

A great new liquor store

On Saturday, 9/6, I headed down to Elkridge on a tip from a local beer expert that there is a new store with a fantastic selection of hard to find beers, in particular Belgian ales that cannot normally be found out side of Belgium! The liquor store is “the perfect pour” . It is in this shopping plaza at the intersection of 175 and 95, and though it is hard to find (the perfect pour name isn’t on the storefront, it just says ‘liquor’ or something) it is well worth the effort.
