Howard wine festival attendees cheer home shipment, county wineries laws

About 40,000 wine aficionados converged on Merriweather Post Pavilion over the weekend for the 19th annual Wine in the Woods festival. Vinters and attendees expressed delight over a new Maryland law allowing direct wine shipment to homes as well as a Howard County Council decision to approve wineries in the county, but they lamented the state's coming liquor tax increase. Above, Denise Theus, Desiree Jones and Sonya Forney sample wine at the festival.
