  • Pinch of Salt

What is Old Westminster Winery?

Old Westminster is sibling-owned winery in Maryland, inspired by seasonal climate and ingredients, unique to their area. When they reached out to me about the Wine Club for their Specialty Pantry Wine Set, I couldn't be happier. Cooking and baking with wines brings out incredibly flavor and helps with texture in a variety of ways. For example, in this chocolate pudding, their Orange Pantry Wine makes it extra velvety smooth. But when cooking with chicken, it would make the meat extra tender.

Why join their wine club?

  • 3 bottles every other month with easy customization
  • 10% off all wine purchases
  • 4 free wine flights at the farm every month
  • First dibs on all wine releases and invitations to member events
  • Exclusive access to our member only area at the tasting room
  • Refer a friend progam — have a friend join the club and you both receive a thank you bottle of wine from us!

Can Chocolate Pudding be Made in Advance?

Yes, you can make chocolate pudding the day before serving; however, I like mine a little less firm so I'll make it just the hour prior. But that's totally just my preference and both ways are delicious!
