Spend the summer sipping the fruits of someone else's labor and kick back with a canine friend. It's time to hit the wine trails to discover wildly diverse wines, brews, brandies and more. At St. Julian alone — our state's oldest winery — there are at least 40 beverages, including many-times-over award winner Solera Cream Sherry. Domaine Berrien Cellars' Marsanne pairs perfectly with any dish you whip up on the grill, from burgers to seafood, and you can't go wrong with a Riesling or Pinot Grigio (or Pinot Gris) from Bowers Harbor Vineyards, Chateau Chantal, Left Foot Charley or Longview Winery. Brys Estate's Gewurtzraminer is to die for and big bold Enigma from Cherry Creek Cellars pairs divinely with pastas to fillets.
Is your mouth watering yet? Slow down a bit this summer and gather with friends over Michigan wine. Along the way, you may even run into a friendly wine dog or two.
