Certain posters have been known to wax rhapsodic about their ancient heritage and under-the-radar local qualities?

That being said, there are a few gems to be had, usually for around $10 retail. Basignani makes a decent Cab, Boordy makes a good Reisling perfect for summer weather, and Elk Run makes a very good Ice Wine. There are some others as well.
Virginia has many more wineries, and some of them put out quality products consistently. I went to the Vintage Virginia Wine Festival (I think that's what it's called) and was shocked at how many wineries were set up there. I was also surprised by how many wines I really liked. And afterwards, I realized that I don't spit nearly enough. Luckily I didn't drive.

Riesling in Maryland, wow, I guess I know very little of the state, although typecast it as a bit swampy and humid, but obviously it is as micro-climate diverse as any region on earth..
