Christina Allen, Summer Artist in Residence
The Port of Leonardtown Winery is pleased to announce the art show of local artist, Christina Allen. Christina has been a professional artist for over 30 years and her art extends from her paintings to her work in hand weaving, spinning and knitting. She received her BFA from the University of Rhode Island and her MA from Rhode Island School of Design. Her paintings capture local scenes and locations in the Southern Maryland region with wonderful use of color.
Christina is an avid gardener on her sustainable homestead and the plants, flowers and trees that are such an important part of her life there are reflected in her paintings. Christina lives with her husband, Frank, on their homestead with their cat, Comice, their flock of sheep, their rare Jersey Buff heritage turkeys and their heritage chickens. Most days she can be found in her Corn Crib Studio.
Christina’s art show will run from June through August, 2013. The winery Tasting Room is open Wednesday through Sunday 12:00 noon to 6:00 p.m. and will be open until 9:00 p.m. on the First Friday of each month with live music.

We could not produce these wines without the great effort our local co-operative grape growers are putting forth to produce high quality grapes. Our wines have received a total of 61 awards since opening in 2010, including 13 gold and 8 best-in-class awards. ”
Finger Lakes International Wine Competition is the largest charitable wine competition in the US and received entries of 3,505wines from 20 countries including Canada. All 50 states had entries into this competition.“This second international award in three months demonstrates that Port of Leonardtown wine quality is recognized outside of Maryland,” said Charlie Murphy, vice president, Southern Maryland Wine Growers Cooperative. “Our growers and winemaker focus on quality to ensure our local wine is the best.”
Port of Leonardtown Winery was awarded a gold medal for the 2010 Chambourcin Reserve, silver medals for the 2010 Autumn Frost and 2011 Chaptico Rosé, and a bronze medal for the 2011 Chambourcin. Chambourcin Reserve 2010 is a refined expression of Chambourcin. Chambourcin reserve has floral aromas with herbal and spice notes with a deep garnet color that leads to a robust, complex wine. It is packed with spice and stone fruits, and carries tones of chocolate and leather. Our Chambourcin Reserve is friendly with lamb, wild game, and Mediterranean vegetable tagines. Try pairing it with Camembert or Asiago cheese.

Port of Leonardtown Winery
Early in 2008, the Southern Maryland Wine Growers Cooperative (SMWGC), T/A (trading as) Port of Leonardtown Winery, partnered with St. Mary’s County Government and the Town of Leonardtown to complete a feasibility study to ensure success of grape growing in Southern Maryland and to examine potential markets for the grape production. The outcome was that the SMWGC entered into a lease agreement with the Town of Leonardtown in 2009 to operate the cooperative winery.
The Port of Leonardtown Winery first started producing wine from the 2009 grape harvest, using fruit from both local and regional vineyards. Port of Leonardtown Winery is open for tasting and purchase Wednesday through Sunday noon to 6 pm with extended hours on First Friday and other special dates.

Our Winemaker “Patrick Isles”
Patrick Isles is a 3rd generation grape grower and winemaker. Both his mother and grandmother were avid home winemakers back in their day. His grandfather commercially grew Concord and Niagara grapes in Westfield NY from 1946 to 1950. At an early age, Patrick was mesmerized by his grandfather’s stories of the vineyard and life on the farm, and fascinated by the bubbling vats of grape and red raspberry wine in his grandmother’s basement.
