Biography
I have been writing a weekly wine column since 1985. The column appears in the Baltimore Sun, Capital-Gazette newspapers in Annapolis, and several other Maryland newspapers. It also appears online at the SouthFloridaReporter and appears occasionally in Gulfshore Life magazine, Napa Valley Register, and other newspapers associated with Tribune Media Co. I live in Naples, Florida, and travel extensively to wine-growing countries in Europe and the United States. Now retired, I worked in the newspaper industry for 40 years. Most recently I was the editor and publisher of Capital-Gazette Newspapers in Annapolis, Maryland.

By Tom Marquardt, Patrick Darr Verified| Capital Gazette Verified When we first heard of Priest Ranch Winery in Napa Valley, we were drawn by the names of its wines. How could you not want to taste a wine called Snake Oil or Coach Gun? So, we did — for several years. And then we just had to talk to winemaker Cody Hurd. Despite its name, it has nothing to do with a church but rather its founder, James Joshua Priest, a gold prospector who founded the property in 1869.
By Tom Marquardt, Patrick Darr Verified| Capital Gazette Verified Who claims there are no second acts in life? Malbec, a virtually forgotten grape in its ancestral home of Bordeaux, has been reborn in a land thousands of miles away in another hemisphere. Although once an important part of the noble grape varieties of Bordeaux, a severe freeze in 1956 and a history of challenges led to a dramatic decline of malbec. It is still popular in the Cahors region of France where it makes up at least 70% of the region’s red wines.
