The wines, from a dozen Italian regions and provided by The Wine Source, were extremely well-received and perfectly complemented the variety of dishes generously donated by some of Baltimore s finest restaurants.
 

The Master of Ceremonies was Baltimore's irreverent wine guru Peter Wood, who kept a lively pace as he worked through the lit of items.

About Evergreen Museum & Library

Formerly the home of two generations of Baltimore's prominent Garrett family, Evergreen Museum & Library and its collection of over 50,000 objects were bequeathed to the Johns Hopkins University in 1942 with the stipulation that the estate remain open to "lovers of music, art, and beautiful things." Since opening to the public in 1990, Evergreen Museum & Library has surpassed mere historic preservation to creatively respond to the Garretts' legacy. Today, Evergreen operates as a dynamic house museum, contemporary art center, and performance space, offering a year-round calendar of artist residency programs for emerging and established artists; lectures, symposia, and concerts; exhibitions; and educational programming.
