Inheriting a Successful 19th Century Vineyard | Maryland Farm & Harvest

#Agriculture"The Loew family has been making mead and wine at least as far back as the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but now Loew Vineyards is in the capable hands of Rachel Lipman, a 5th generation descendant running the operation. Al Spoler meets up with Rachel as she begins to make their latest batch of honey wine. Rachel helps make the distinction between honey wine and mead, and clarifies how what their family makes is different from what you might find at the Renaissance festival. Rachel gets her honey from local beekeepers, and with a few dozen buckets worth she’s ready to put Al to work. Al wraps up his visit with a sampling of their honey wine and more.
