As a further jaunt into the wealth that Michigan offers, let us take a peek at Black Star Farms.
There are not many wineries (that I am aware of) that feature the diversity that is hosted by Black Star Farms. Most wineries sell cheese, but few actually make it alongside the wine. And then when [...]
If you want an atypical way to spend a weekend (or two) in November, take a trip up into Michigan for the Leelanau Peninsula Vintners’ Toast the Season event. It is a great way to see some gorgeous countryside in our northern neighbor as well as appreciate some truly remarkable wines.
The celebration covers November 12 [...]
Have some extra cash and want to impress the ladies (or fellows) with a bit of off-kilter wine knowledge? Grab yourself a bottle of ice wine and head for home!
Ice wine (originally Eiswein in Germany) is a more expensive wine than you usually see in stores. It is usually made from Riesling grapes that tend [...]
Part deux… the whitening. White wines can be very nice as a non-dinner wine, but can be paired effectively to work with your nightly meal quite well. Plus, they are nice for a summer drink because of their usual chilled serving temperature.

Make your chocolate cake (use Coke instead of water for a caramel-like taste and a fluffier batter) and spread lots of frosting over the whole [...]
If you tire of the simplicity and sparse features of Blogger (though it is good for a training tool), I would recommend that you check out either Moveable Type or WordPress. WordPress tends to have a bit more power and tweaking potential, but Moveable Type can be a bit more setup/user friendly. Whichever way [...]
If you want to learn about wine, food pairings, varietals, etc and yet also want to play around and not feel like you are learning, I have a recommendation. Give up on studying and just go play. In fact, play board games! To learn about wine though, you’ll need to play a particular game but [...]
My cousin got married this weekend. Yay. At the reception, they had 4 different (but similar) wines from Olivery Winery (yes, I was quite happy).
Camelot Mead (one of my personal favorites)
Soft White
Soft Rosé
Soft Red
