Wow, the vintagers at Pintail Point. That's great news. And that's only 30 miles from Bill Wise's house.
We have to get Bill up and running so he can make the short commute on a daily basis during the event. And speaking of Bill, what is the latest news? I haven't heard anything in a while.
I used to keep a sailboat in Annapolis and always loved going up to that area. The best place for crabs that I found was Mike's Crab House (a local favorite) on the South River in Riva, a suburb of Annapolis. Hope it's still there. There are not many prettier areas than Annapolis and the Eastern Shore along the bay.
As for the Homestead, it would be a great place for the event, but there's really only one place to stay and it isn't cheap. There's nowhere else in the area, so accomodating such a crowd and event would be a real limiting factor.
