The sparkling Rieslings can be a revelation. Red wines are a bit more temperamental with their zippy berry flavors. But, in the right winemaking hands, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Marquette can be wonderfully fragrant, supple, and complex. My favorite wineries of this area for high quality winemaking and winery experience are Brys Winery, Aurora Cellars, Bel Lago Winery, and L. Mawby. Next time you head to northern Michigan, check out the great selection of vineyards and wineries in the Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsulas.
