Daniel and Robin at Wine in the Woods 2009.

Wine in the Woods is a wine festival that showcases Maryland wineries. It's an all day event with wine, music, artists and roving entertainers. It was nice to be able to taste what Maryland has to offer in the way of wine. Maryland wineries for the most part are still very young. Right now a lot of their strengths are in white wines and desert wines. However there was one winery that had a stand out red. Basignani Winery has a 2005 Lorenzino Reserve that is very Bordeaux-like, and was our favorite wine of the day. All in all we were impressed with what we tasted and had a lot of fun in the process. This will most likely become a summer tradition.

"I promise to give you the best of myself and to ask of you no more than you can give.

I promise to accept you the way you are.

I fell in love with you for the qualities, abilities, and outlook on life that you have, and won't try to reshape you in a different image.

I promise to respect you as a person with your own interests, desires, and needs, and to realize that those are sometimes different, but no less important than my own.

I promise to keep myself open to you and to share my innermost fears and feelings, secrets and dreams.

I promise to grow along with you, to be willing to face change as we both change in order to keep our relationship alive and exciting.

And finally, I promise to love you in good times and in bad, with all I have to give and all I feel inside in the only way I know how... completely and forever."
