Carroll County Tour Details:

Carroll County is in the central part of the state, located between Baltimore and Frederick counties. It was created in 1837 out of the western part of Baltimore County and the eastern part of Frederick County. Carroll The County was named after Charles Carroll, one of Maryland’s signers of the Declaration of Independence and the longest-lived of all the signers. Westminster, near the geographic center, was chosen as the seat of government for the county. William Winchester laid out the town of Westminster in 1764 on part of his tract called “White’s Level.” Winchester’s home still stands, one the oldest surviving structures in the county.

The county has a diverse heritage. The northern part of the county was settled by Germans moving south from Pennsylvania. These settlers created small family farms clustered around small towns. The southern part of the county was settled by those of English background who were moving inland from the tidewater in search of farmland. These families tended to own larger tracts of land. These differences are reflected in the architecture and towns of the county.

From its earliest days the county was primarily agricultural. Rich land attracted farming families. Mills sprang up along the creeks and streams to process the produce. The arrival of the railroad and construction of turnpikes boosted the county’s economy. Improved roads led to Baltimore, Frederick, Hanover, Washington and other major markets. Tanneries, paper mills, canneries, and quarries
appeared and began to diversify the county’s economy.

As in many places, the Civil War divided Carroll County’s citizens.
Approximately 750 men joined the Union army while about 250 of their neighbors fought for the Confederacy. The county saw Confederate troops on its soil three times during the war.

ABOUT ERIC SUSSMAN

Born and raised in New York State, Eric developed his passion for winegrowing while studying agriculture at Cornell University. After spending several years in Washington’s Yakima Valley, he immersed himself in the old-world culture and traditions of France over two exceptional vintages – 1995 in Bordeaux at Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Pauillac, and 1996 in Burgundy at Domaine Comte Armand of Pommard and Domaine Jacques Prieur of Meursault. Apprenticing alongside men and women who have tended the same vineyards and wines through countless seasons reinforced Eric’s respect for the intrinsic connection between land, people and the wine they produce. work-ing with New World grapes. For more than a decade, he and our winegrowing team have strived to balance nature’s expression with a delicate, but disciplined human touch in these handcrafted wines.

Upon returning to the United States, and after a year of collaborating on the wines at Bonny Doon in Santa Cruz, Eric settled in Western Sonoma County and spent four years as the associate winemaker for Dehlinger. Working with one of the area’s finest estate producers enhanced his appreciation for the world-class wine grown in this region.

In 2002, Eric established Radio-Coteau, focusing on the north coast vineyards of western Sonoma County and Anderson Valley. With their benchland locations, well-drained soils, exposure to capricious marine air and fog, these sites host grapes naturally suited to their surrounding elements. This natural selection afforded Eric an opportunity to refine his Old World experiences while

History of Champagne Jeepers

In 2009, Nicolas and Myriam Dubois, both winemakers and true Champenois, took over the brand and infused it with a powerful new ambition. They wanted to cement its position in the traditional champagne market by creating a new bottle, unique to Jeeper.

2013 heralded a decisive encounter with Michel Reybier. Always in search of excellence products, Reybier family is known internationally and particularly in the wine world for their properties in the Cos d’Estournel (listed Grand Cru of Saint-Estèphe) and their Tokaj estates in Hungary. The Dubois family, current owner of Les domaines Jeeper, registered in the winemaking tradition since 1764, has always had at its heart the production of high-quality champagnes. Sharing this passion and this ambition for excellence has linked these two families. Together, they pulled out all the stops to breathe new life into Jeeper Champagnes and build a solid, long-lasting brand.

The culmination of this hard work came in 2014, with the arrival of Jeeper’s «next generation» champagnes. These for non-vintage champagnes are the distilled essence of the brand’s philosophy and unique flavour. They are the embodiment of the Jeeper Taste.

History of the Name

A winemaking dynasty since the 18th century, the Goutorbe family produces high-quality champagne in the village of Damery, in the heart of the Marne valley. Armand Goutorbe, the heir to the family business, passed a major milestone in the brand’s history in the 1940’s.

As an intelligence officer for the French Army during the Second World War, the young winemaker was taken prisoner. He stayed strong and did not divulge any military secrets, eventually helping save American and other allied soldiers from certain death.

Armand returned to his native Champagne disabled, but received a Willy’s Jeep from the US Army to enable him to work the vines and give him the chance to get his life and business back on track.

It was in memory of his story and the desire to stand out from the various other Goutorbes in the region that led Armand Goutorbe to rename his champagne “Jeeper” in 1949.

As a real entrepreneur, the “Jeeper Man”, as friendly nicknamed by the people of the region, developed his business. This was the birth of the Jeeper brand: truly excellent champagnes, created in a spirit of audacity, modernity and accessibility.

Timeline of Nicolas Dubois, Owner of Champagnes Jeeper 

• Nicolas Dubois was born in Reims in 1978.

• His father is an entrepreneur and his mother is a winemaker.

• At 40 years old Nicolas is the father of 3 children.

• After terminating his studies in wine making and viticulture, at 17 years old, he decides to start and work in the vineyards.

• In 1999, He launches his first brand of Champagnes and releases his first bottles in 2003.

• In 2009, Champagne Jeeper is for sale by the son of the original founder.

• Nicolas sees in this brand a true treasure, a diamond that he will shape carefully. For this special Champagne, a special jewel box had to be created. Nicolas thinks and creates a unique bottle, with special dimensions and characteristics for an optimal quality and taste and re thinks the whole production process, the Jeeper taste was born. 

• Passionate, self-taught and a true winemaker soul, he always has thousands of ideas in a second. 

• For his children, he matures towards a vineyard in total respect with the environment. 

• His ambition and his dream are to position Jeeper as one of the best Champagne house, built on a strong identity and solid ethic values.

Biography - Jorge and Victor Ordóñez

When Jorge Ordóñez arrived in the United States in 1987, the international Spanish wine market was bleak. Jorge grew up in Málaga and managed his family’s wholesale food and wine business before arriving in the United States. In a market saturated by French, Californian, and Italian wine, Spanish wine was thought to be low quality, funky, and cheap. Jorge understood that much of this was the result of external factors, most importantly, poor storage and transportation conditions. Due to these conditions, much of the country’s winemaking needed to be revitalized: cleanliness needed to be a priority, yields needed to lowered, and some traditional methods needed to be updated. Most mportantly, Ordóñez sought to preserve the ancient vineyards of his homeland and fought brazenly against the trend of ripping up indigenous varieties to replant with more productive international grape varieties. There was a great deal of risk involved. Ordóñez boldly challenged the international palate by being the first to introduce and champion exotic varietals such as Albariño, Godello, Garnacha, Monastrell, Tinta de Toro, and wines from Txacoli.

In unheralded regions such as Toro, Málaga, Calatayud, Jumilla, Alicante, Montsant, and Valdeorras, Ordóñez partnered with the most talented winemakers to produce fine wines where none existed. These were wines that championed Spain’s oldest, forgotten vineyards. Jorge now owns Grupo Jorge Ordóñez, a group of eight boutique wineries that produce wines from these unheralded regions. Jorge now lives full time in Spain to overlook all the properties. While Jorge resides in Spain; his son,  Victor, overlooks the U.S. as the National Sales and Marketing Manager for Jorge Ordóñez Selections. At a young age Victor worked at Bodegas Jorge Ordóñez Malaga learning his way around the cellar and vineyard. When Victor turned 15, he worked his first harvest in Malaga and began to fall in love with wine and the process. Continuing his education, Victor graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Science in Viticulture and Enology. Victor now oversees the whole United States with distribution in over 25 states. He travels all over the country emphasizing the importance of preserving ancient varietals of Spain and the proper temperature control transportation needed to protect the quality of the wine.

MALDONADO VINEYARDS

Forty-four years ago, Lupe Maldonado moved to California settling in the small town of St. Helena. Lupe devoted his three-decade viticulture wisdom to his own grapes, buying a 10-acre piece of land in the coolest southern regions of Napa Valley, in Jamieson Canyon, which he developed into his own vineyards. The Maldonado Winery consists of a cave nestled in the eastern hills of Calistoga, California, home to all aspects of wine production, as well as barrel aging. Lupe and his son Hugo, a graduate in Viticulture and Enology from the University of California in Davis oversee the whole winemaking project, as well as operating a small vineyard management company. 

For the full wine dinner experience, reserve our wine dinner package which includes overnight accommodations, afternoon tea, dinner for two to attend our Maldonado Wine Dinner, morning breakfast tray with newspaper, and a full breakfast served in our restaurant.
