THEWINEMONOLOGUES.COM: The Tweet and Taste Michigan continues next week!

The Tweet and Taste Michigan continues next week!

Time has escaped me I must admit! "Summer" here in Michigan has begun with all of my summer activities and I have been busy, busy, busy. So busy that I neglected a recap of the Tweet & Taste Michigan from wineries of the Lake Michigan Shore. Time has flown so fast that the NEXT Tweet & Taste is NEXT week already!! Yep, June 7th featuring the Wines of Old Mission Peninsula, or as they are lovingly referred to "WOMP".

Our last Tweet & Taste involved the wineries of the Lake Michigan Shore, or, "the mitten's west coast". It was a delightful event that introduced us to the Chancellor variety of grape and also allowed us to taste two varietals that I had never had from Michigan wine makers, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. As always, Shannon and Cortney Casey did a wonderful job in hosting and organizing this event. If you have not yet visited their site, please do so. They are tireless in their passion for Michigan wines and the Michigan Wine Industry! In fact, I will let them sum up the last Tweet & Taste Michigan. Take a look at the following link to their video blog recap of Tweet & Taste 3!! www.michiganbythebottle.com/2010/05/podcast-episode-19-tweet-taste-michigan-lms-wineries-recap.html

As I mentioned, we are moving on to Tweet & Taste Michigan 4 featuring the wines of Old Mission Peninsula. In fact, every winery from WOMP will be involved! Next Monday, June 7th at 8:00 pm EST, we will be visiting a little bit of "up north"!
