I love visiting my home town of Charlevoix, especially when the weather is gorgeous, I'm with my family and I can spend quality time with my parents and long-time friends. On Saturday evening, my husband Kris and I spent a lovely evening with our good friends Lynn and Scotty Vollmer on the deck at the Weathervane overlooking Pine River Channel. Lynn and I go way, way, way back, so it's always a blast catching up.
In addition to fun conversation, I enjoyed Cajun "lollypop" lamb chops with a wonderful unoaked Chardonnay by Black Star Farms. I was thrilled to be offered this particular Chardonnay by our fabulous waitress Grace. I asked for a recommendation on Chardonnay, and she, on her own accord, touted this Michigan wine. I always love it when I find a restaurant that supports Michigan's home grown agriculture.
You can't beat a summer evening sipping wine and watching the drawbridge go up and down for the magnificent sailboats and Beaver Island Ferry. Aaaahhh, summer nights! ~ Sharon
