Well, kids, I’ll be spending my day tasting wines for you. Remember last year when I made you this guide to the spring Chairman’s Selections? I hope to do the same again for you by the weekend.
Most of the crew at the Starr Hill release party at the Brewhouse Grille on Monday.
We had a stellar turnout for last night’s #hbgtweetup! Thanks to all who showed and enjoyed our night on ABC’s deck. Don’t forget next month is our 6-year anniversary party!
Friday is 3rd in the Burg, and I’m looking forward to re-trying the Mashup Food Truck Festival and checking out some new (to me) spaces along the way.
On Saturday, I’m lucky enough to experience another Dashing Rogue Beer Pairing Dinner for a friend’s birthday (Check out this video for more), and on Sunday, we’re heading to Baltimore for an O’s game — and of course, an obligatory stop at Max’s Taphouse.
