One thing we haven’t touched on enough is agriculture in Maryland. So, becasue pretzels don’t grow out of the ground, we’re going to start with the second best consumable around: wine. Here’s a shot from the Basigniani vineyards in Sparks. Having been to many a vineyard in both MD and the commonwealth to the southwest, I’d say this is arguably one of the best vineyards in the region. They make some delicious offerings, mostly blended. Some of the best are the Lorenzo Reserve, the Chardonnay, and the Marisa.
Their tasting room is quite nice and their staff is friendly and welcoming.
I suppose that I shouldn’t be telling you about this becasue more demand means higher prices. However, becasue I care, I’ll take the hit in my wallet and share with everyone.

What ever happened to the economy of scale? Sell more wine!

Economies of scale apply to industries with unlimited or less limited capabilities to scale up. It takes five years to get a new vine to the point where it will produce grapes capable of growing wine. In the mean time, increased demand for the limited supply of a vineyard’s wine will result in increased prices.

Wow, agriculture and economics here at the MDP.

MMMM…Basignani. Picking, lunch, and tasting make for an ideal Saturday morning. Be careful not to mispronounce Marisa…right MDP?
