We're in the San Antonio News Express!

Don't mess with Texas! Apparently, they even know how cool St Michaels is and why people should come visit! It's so cool that we're in their newspaper!! Special thanks goes out to them!

Santa better call GEICO!

A local farm, which you will pass on your way to St. Michaels, always goes over and beyond with their holiday decorations. This one is too awesome for people to pass up. As we commute on St. Michaels road, there are always people stopped on the shoulders and out taking pictures of this display! How fun and creative! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!

Christmas in St Michaels- oh how we love it!

The town looks beautiful! Lights, greenery, smiles and trees! What a wonderful place to be for the Christmas season. Here's wishing all our friends, family and visitors a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

WINE BEFORE MADNESS!

We are so excited about this year's 10th Annual Midnight Madness!! The date is December 3rd. Before you head out into the rush and shop 'til you drop, come inside our dining room and enjoy some food and wine to fuel up!! We'll be having Hot Chesapeake Crab Dip, paired with Alente White; Puff Pastry Onion Tart, paird with Baronne du Chatelard Brouilly; Hearty Beef Stew, paired with Monte Maria Montepulciano D'Abruzzo; and a decadent Chocolate Fudge Brownie, paired with JK Estates Cabernet Sauvignon. WARM UP WITH US BEFORE SHOPPING!

And she cooks too!!

Our housekeeper just keeps proving how amazing she is! Our new innkeeper couldn't make it in for breakfast yesterday, so we had to think fast about what to make for breakfast and who would do it. I (Director of Marketing) said I would be happy to help serve our guests and make sure the tables were set up, but I am not the best cook... Donna, our head of housekeeping (the one who was hit by a deer a week ago) stepped up and said she'd take on the cooking! Her western omelets were DELICIOUS!! The guests were even asking for the recipe and wanting seconds!!

Watch out for deer!

Our amazing head of housekeeping was on her way to get gas at the Sunoco by the YMCA and Rusticana Pizza of St Michaels, when out of the Gatsy's property comes a buck! He smashed into the side of her van, busting out all three windows on her driver's side! She was scraped and bruised on her left shoulder by his hoof! Thankfully, she ducked or it could've been her head or face! We are sooooo thankful that she was not hurt more than that and that we still have her here with us. She was taken to the hospital via ambulance and came in for work the next morning!! AMAZING!

Good night's sleep!

When traveling, sleep is very important. To be comfortable and sleep well is even more important! We had a couple stay with us this weekend in our Thomas Point room. They sent us an email when they got home asking us where we bought our pillows so that they could get some of their own!! These little things are so important to us and to our guests! Sleep tight when you're at the Old Brick Inn!!

Taste and Tingle Tuesdays

We have so much fun at these wine seminars. People are so interesting and you an really learn a lot about other places after a few sips of wine. We have a couple here who were married in the Biltmore and are here for their honeymoon. Imagine that! Married in elegance and splendor and coming to St Michaels to relax and cuddle in the cold and rain. Good thing we have fireplaces!
