FREDERICK CELLARS

Open since 2006, Frederick Cellars is Maryland's only "City Winery". It is one of only about 10 such wineries in the United States, to learn more about the winery's debut click here. On January 8, 2008 a visit to Frederick County included seeing three wineries. In downtown Frederick the winery's bottling line was busy at work - a great opportunity to use the movie feature on the digital camera. Click here to watch the bottling line in action!    This 30 second video takes a few minutes to load. The bottles had already been filled with wine and corks were in place - the only thing left for the equipment to do was to heat shrink the foil around the top of the bottle and apply the bottle's label.
