This month’s Beverage Journal has several good articles in it and is worth taking a gander at (click here.) (For all you oenophiles, (I didn’t want to call you wino’s but I’m not so sure oenophile is any better) check out page 14 for a look at the wine Brunello di Montalcino. Pam and I visited the town of Montalcino in Tuscanny a few years back and it really is an impressive place. Brunello wine is a little on the pricey side but if you are looking for a nice, Thanksgiving hostess gift, this would be a good choice.
All that said however, the article from the Beverage Journal that I want to pass along to you is a profile of Marshele Burgess owner of Rips Country Inn in Bowie Maryland. With over 100 employees and 4 businesses, Rips has always been one of my stops when doing any road trip travelling Rt.301 up that way. Read the article to learn how Rips got its name. The baseball connection seems fitting given that the Bowie Baysox ball park is now located right next door to Rips. (I hi-lited that section of the article if you’re in a hurry and don’t care to read the entire article.)
Following video starts out rapping about going to the liquor store but soon devolves into I don’t know what. I hung with it because it does have some very cool shots of cars and scantily clad ladies. Probably could have done without the Andrew Dice Clay rip off midway thru but glad I stayed for the guitar solo (starting at the 6:07 mark.)
