Sample From Southern Maryland’s Rising Crop of Wineries, Breweries, and Distilleries | Eater DC

"The Robin Hill plot has been a farm since 1829, and owner Susan Watson-White’s family has been working it since 1955. As part of a settlement funded by the state, the owners stopped growing that cash crop and used the government funds to turn their attention to grapes. Watson-White, a “Miss Maryland Tobacco Queen” in 1985, serves wines that have won more than 50 medals in various competitions in the past few years, including an award for Maryland Winery of the Year in 2019 in the New York International Wine Competition. Before taking a seat on the tasting room’s expansive porch, ask to see the bottling room and kegs of rare port. Then try the Pi’Goat Blanc, a sweet rosé with hints of strawberries and cherries."
