Black Star Farms 2011 Arcturos Sur Lie Chardonnay

This is simply a lovely taste of Michigan in a bottle. Unoaked and classically clean and crisp. Fruit forward with citrus, pear and apple on the nose. Ripe and very smooth going down. A perfect wine with foods like cheese, cream sauce, chicken, pork and fish and good enough to uncork and enjoy by itself. It’s a double gold winner in the International Eastern Wine Competition and highly recommended by this aficionado of Michigan wines. Cheers to Pure Michigan in a bottle!

Shady Lane Cellars – Semi-Dry Riesling

A beautiful example of what Michigan can do and what a great Riesling can be. Apple, apricot, and Lilly’s of the Valley on the nose. Going down it’s a lovely balance between a semi sweet start, balanced out by the perfect acidity. Perfect with something spicy on your plate, think Asian, or Mexican! Cheers!
