When we launched Michigan Vine, we purposefully opted for "Vine" to leave room for future Michigan endeavors. We absolutely love Michigan wine country, as evident by our book, From the Vine, and we continue to travel to the new wineries popping up all over our beautiful Great Lakes state. Excitedly, we also continue to present "Michigan Wine Country" throughout Michigan to libraries and at special events.
What's new is that now we wish to share our passion for Michigan potatoes, blueberries, sugar beets and more.
This past weekend, we raced the minivan around the eastern countryside, chasing down potato farmers, attending Munger's Potato Fest and stumbling into a lush sugar beet field. (The sugar of those beets will later be whipped into future chocolate chip cookies in my home.) Oh, and the photo of Lorri? She's celebrating the fact that we found the field. (Don't fret, no sugar beets were harmed in the capturing of this photo.) Stay tuned for more. ~ Sharon

Do you follow the (budding?)distilled spirits entrepreneurs in MI who might make their stuff from MI potatoes, beets, etc? There is one distillery in Traverse City that I know of.
