What to Do in Batimore... Wine and Cake!

Looking for stuff to do in Baltimore during the coming weeks? Two events just popped up on our radar that I'm sure will be of interest to THG readers...

On October 22 from 6:30 to 9:00 PM the Maryland Science Center will be hosting the latest installment in its popular Science Uncorked series. Held in conjunction with their current Da Vinci exhibit, the event will examine the wines from the legendary painter and inventor's Italian homeland.

Experts from The Wine Market will offer an in-depth look at the wines of Italy. Guests will learn the Italian wine regions, sample a variety of Italian vintages, and explore the role that color, scent, and taste play in the enjoyment of fine wine while sampling numerous wine and food pairings.

Tickets to Science Uncorked are $40 for Maryland Science Center members and $45 for non-members. Admission includes wine, food, presentation, and a tour of Da Vinci - The Genius. Attendees must be 21 or older. RSVP by calling 410.545.5960.

If cake is more up your alley, join Duff Goldman and members of the Charm City Cakes team at Baltimore's Atomic Books for a book release party and signing on Tuesday, October 27 from 7:00-10:00 PM. The staff from Charm City Cakes, who also happen to be the stars of Food Network's hit show ACE OF CAKES, will be stopping by Atomic Books to celebrate the release of their new book ACE OF CAKES: INSIDE THE WORLD OF CHARM CITY CAKES (William Morrow Cookbooks) and sign copies of the book.

Get Decadent Baltimore

Do you feel left out while the kids are devising their trick or treat strategy in order to maximize their candy haul? Do you find yourself secretly hoping they leave their Halloween goodies unguarded so you can grab a Snickers bar to go along with a cold Natty Boh?

Don't sell yourself short Baltimore! Treat yourself to an Evening of Decadence at Morton's Steakhouse on October 28th and sample hors d'oeuvres from Morton's, premier Vosges chocolate and a selection of Piper champagnes.

Guests will arrive to a reception featuring Morton's signature hors d'oeuvres and Piper Sonoma Brut. After the reception, guests will begin taking part in the exceptional pairing of Champagne and chocolate using sensory vials which contain an essence (lilac, etc) that will pull that flavor out of the chocolate and champagne.

For more information, please visit www.mortons.com or call Judi DiGioia at 410-547-8255.
