From its inaugural event on May 27, 1947 to its final wine tasting on April 15, 1982, the Wine and Food Society of Baltimore hosted elaborately executed gatherings, with menus that often featured six courses or more with wine pairings to match. This online library collection, hosted by Digital Maryland (previously Maryland Digital Cultural Heritage or MDCH), showcases 31 historical documents, invitations, and dinner programs. The Southern Christmas dinner program from December 2, 1959 can serve as an excellent example of the collection's fascinating spread. The program is eight pages long, authored by one Harnett T. Kane, and includes a menu, descriptions of the planned event, and illustrations.
