Brian Lawrence Live

Friday, June 6
The intense summer heat didn’t prevent a great turnout at the annual Evening of Traditional Beverages at Johns Hopkins’ Homewood House. The topic of this evening’s talk and sampling was wine, specifically from the northern region of Italy. An Italian prosecco was sampled first, followed by four more wines after the talk. As in previous years, I volunteered to man one of the bars for the evening, so I was kept on my toes uncorking bottles and pouring throughout. Jim Burger was on hand to do bartending duties as well, and in the course of the evening I got to say hello to Sylvia Parker, Mark Letzer, Amanda Krotki and lots of others who turned out for this fun outdoor event.
