During my visit to the Reisterstown Wine and Beer Tasting in 2023, I expressed the need for more wine festivals in Baltimore. It seems I’ve spoken a new wine tasting into existence by attending the annual Marvelous Oak Mo Wyne Cookout.
The Need for More Wine Festivals
Baltimore should have more wine and spirit tastings, particularly those featuring Black-owned businesses. I was fortunate to come across Marvin Parker in my ventures with alcohol last year. It led me to this wonderful event.

Marvin Parker owns the Marvelous Oak Wine brand. I was thrilled to attend the Annual Marvelous Oak Cookout last summer. I loved seeing Black people enjoying themselves with cups of Marvelous Oak wine in hand.
The Marvelous Oak Experience
The star that sat gloriously in my cup was Marvelous Oak’s semi-sweet Malbec wine. At the picnic table, guests found a pitcher filled with sangria, using Marvelous Oak as its main ingredient. I enjoyed a cup while dining at the barbecue and watching the festivities. The atmosphere was lively, with guests grooving to line dances, playing UNO, and simply having a great time. The wine was smooth and stealthy, perfect for an enjoyable day.
