Next bottle up!
I believe this one will be little sweeter than my normal tastes, but always enjoy gift bottles. Excited to visit the Chateau Grand Traverse later in the year. Besides the vineyards they have an Inn, and 7 other wineries on the peninsula. As a big bonus, they have a couple of varieties I have never sampled.
Fun fact on grapes… there are 1,368 known wine grape varieties, but about 80% of the world’s wine production is made from only 20 grape types. We have elitist monarchs from the last 700 years to thank for this tiny concentration of “noble” grapes. One after another, they declared their favorite wines the only ones that could be traded. Anytime you can try a new variety, you do biodiversity a favor as many of these old vines face extinction.
