An Aellen History Lesson
Happy Day to everyone! So today we are taking a walk into history. I’d like to tell you a little bit about our family. Specifically, our dad’s side of the family. All of our grandparents are from Europe, and so there is a rich history – including wine and, yes, it goes without saying – food too. In the tasting room, there is a “Coat of Arms” hanging in the hallway that goes from the steps to the Abisso Hall into the Tasting room. This is the “Aellen Family Crest”. Yes – our last name is Aellen – and for…
Out With The Old and In With…A New Vineyard??
Good Afternoon! We hope everyone is having a good day today – knowing there are some of you who are just getting back in the swing of things, having been off for the holiday break…maybe even wishing you had another day off…while some of you are just happy to be back at work(!) Today we are talking with Eric about the vineyards.

A Tribute to our Dad & Founder of Linganore Winecellars
Merry Christmas from our family to yours! We hope today that you are enjoying some time with family and friends, and that you are sipping some of your favorite wine too, as you celebrate the holiday.

My dad – John Aellen, is the founder of the winery, along with his wife, my mom, Lucille. Way back in 1971…
Wine-Making Fun
Hello all and hope everyone is enjoying the chilly weather out there. Here is a throwback to a few months ago. When we could actually wear short sleeve shirts outside. Don’t mind the fact that the boys in the picture are wearing jackets over their short sleeves. I’m sticking with the short sleeve story. While we were in the grape picking and processing frenzy, we had a chance to talk with Ming, Ray and Anthony. Things got so busy, we had to even pull in Matt – (not into the tanks!) – just to help with processing all of…
Drink Some Wine and Be Merry!
Greetings to all! Today, I am in Thanksgiving for Thanksgiving! I don’t know about all of you, but there is still leftover turkey in the fridge. (Hopefully by the time you read this, it will have been made into some sort of casserole.) Having made it through all that was Thanksgiving, there’s the feeling that a little wine might be in order. How about you? Well, we have just the thing for you! Come enjoy yourself at our annual Christmas in the Barn this coming Sunday, December 7th, from 12 noon to 4 pm. There will be wine tasting, which will…
