A Winery for Downtown Frederick

2006 September 24

The Gazette covers the new urban winery opening up in downtown Frederick.

The idea of a winery typically brings to mind bucolic images such as California’s Napa Valley or the French countryside — not downtown Frederick, Md.

But within a few weeks, owners Charles Daneri and his wife, Emily Williams, plan to open Frederick Cellars in a century-old, thick-brick-walled former icehouse at 221 N. East St. in Everedy Square [map it].

‘‘It’s a wonderful use of the property,” said landlord Bert Anderson, a developer who began renovating Everedy Square, then a blighted warehouse and factory district, in the 1970s. ‘‘As far as I know it will also be the first urban winery in the state.”

Sounds like an interesting concept. Here is their website if you want more info.
