ReplyDeleteAnd your tummy will be etched after drinking this Maryland winery swill!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not too fond of Maryland wines, but the wine festival is a lot of fun. Hope I get to go this year.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry so much about those etched wine glasses, 7:59. The only people paying for them are those who buy a ticket. Every event has costs that determine the net profit.
