Every summer until I was around 12, my family would travel to Paw Paw to visit
St. Julian Winery. The tour was pretty much the same but just as fun. My parents would purchase cases of wine after what felt like hours of wine tasting. We would then drive over to South Haven, find a spot on the beach for a picnic and swim until late afternoon. We continued this tradition for several years after my siblings married and started having kids. With a caravan of cars, I had my pick of who I wanted to travel with.
Great memories.
St. Julian has a tasting room in
Frankenmuth so I don't have to travel as far as my parents.
I found a delightfully sweet red wine by mistake. I fell in love with the label. Isn't it gorgeous?
Sunset Michcato is top of my list for a light sweet red.
This succulently sweet red blend is made from grapes grown in the Lake Michigan Shore Appellation. It was released in May, 2017 to celebrate Michigan Wine Month and was part of the Pure Michigan summer 2017 campaign. The goal of the winemaker was to create a wine that embraced everything Michigan. Michigan grown grapes, Michigan-proud label, and expected to be enjoyed on a beach in Michigan at sunset.
If you enjoy sweet wines, I recommend you try this one.
It pairs nicely with cheese & crackers.
Take it outside and enjoy a sunset this weekend with your honey.
