The summer is winding down, but there are still some great Caribbean events\u00a0going on as we head into the fall here in the United States. Maryland is a great place to find new wines, and Linganore’s Caribbean Wine festival has long been a favorite spring event. I haven’t been for a few years, but I hear it is still going strong. Recently, I came across another event in Howard County that you may be interested in attending or sharing with family and friends in the DC area.<\/p>\n
