The song on this video is an original song "Across The Sea" written and sung by my grand daughter Sasha Yatchenko. You can listen to more of her music on her web site.




My husband and I did the wine tasting and tour of the Boordy Vineyard in Hydes, Maryland at the end of May. The wine is 'very' good. The tour guide Pat did a fantastic job explaining the process that a grape goes through from the beginning to the end product, wine. The Vidal Blank is aromatic, not too sweet and very enjoyable. I like how the bottle labels have a different symbols of the state's culture and environment on them.
Photo of Sasha with her great grandmother was taken by Andrea Sloan. The rest by me....
The following I copied from the video BOORDY VINEYARD-MARYLAND
It tells about the vineyard better than I can.


Located in Hydes, Maryland, Boordy Vineyards was founded by Philip and Jocelyn Wagner, who established Marylands first commercial winery in 1945. Boordy is probably best known for introducing new varieties of French hybrid grapevines throughout the United States in the 1930s. Since 1980, Boordy has been owned by the R.B. Deford family, and is located on their historic 240-acre farm in the Long Green Valley of northeastern Baltimore County. The winery is housed in a 19th century stone barn whose thick walls keep the wine at cellar temperatures throughout the year.
Proprietor and winemaker Rob Deford attended UC Davis, but as he put it, there was never any doubt that I would come back here to Maryland to make wine. This was his home. Boordy currently produces 70,000 gallons of wine annually. In addition to the three generations of Estate vines, forty acres of grapes are cultivated in the Long Green Valley (Central Piedmont region) and in the Catoctin Mountains of western Maryland. Varieties grown include chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot, petit verdot, seyval blanc, and vidal blanc. Boordys winemaker since 1986 has been Tom Burns.

7-20-2011 I just finished the bottle of Tango Peach. "i know' 'I know' you are NOT supposed to drink it later than one day after opening it. I kept it in the fridge on the door with a 'Disney wine cork', It still tasted very good with good body and the flavor of peach was 'still' there. I think this is a very good wine. Especially since I am NOT a fan of 'sweet' wine. I have one more bottle to review and I will let you know how I like it. I must state that I 'am not' a wine expert.

I just had a glass of Boordy's Tango Peach wine. It is a somewhat sweet white wine with a beautiful light golden yellow color. It has a very nice body to it and is a perfect wine for a hot day in Maine. The sweetness is not overpowering and it lingers on the back of your tongue and the top of your mouth. It is a perfect summer wine. I am 'not' a wine expert but I do know what I like and I like this wine. You can also check out other reviews at the web site providencepalate
