The wine region of Leelanau Peninsula
Michigan AVA on a peninsula between Lake Michigan and Grand Traverse Bay (45 deg N, latitude of Bordeaux). Riesling reigns as a white star: taut and aromatic with signature notes of white apple, peach, lemon, white flowers and a mineral touch, lively and long palate — from dry to medium-sweet to ice wine. Ample Chardonnay, aromatic Gewurztraminer (lychee, rose). Fine Pinot Noir (cherry, undergrowth) and Gamay emerging.
The wine region of Michigan
Midwestern wine state on the 45th parallel (Burgundy, Piedmont), tempered by the Great Lakes (lake effect). Signature Riesling: precise, taut whites with signature notes of citrus, green apple, white peach, white flowers and saline minerality, crisp acidity - from dry to off-dry. Also ample Chardonnay, perfumed Pinot Gris, opulent Gewürztraminer (lychee, rose). Fresh, silky Pinot Noir in red.
The word of the wine: Broker
In the past, he was a sort of fraud control agent who had to watch over the quality of merchant wines (he could carry a sword!). His function has evolved towards expertise (it was the brokers who established the famous 1855 classification in Bordeaux) and today he puts the producer in contact with the merchant.
