One of the best things about summer in northern Michigan is dining al fresco. It’s so pleasant to enjoy a meal and glass of wine in the great outdoors, whether in your own backyard, at a cafe sidewalk table, or at the park or beach. With that in mind, Lisa, our wine purchaser has a few recommendations for great wines to enjoy with your summer sipping and munching.

Tasting notes: Ripe yellow raspberries, Meyer lemon zest, and guava with notes of dried wild strawberry. Intricately fresh throughout, with Satsuma, stone fruit and subtle cherry blossom, and a creamy, yet linear mid-palate and lasting, vibrant finish.
Wapisa Sauvignon Blanc

From Patagonia, “Wapisa” is the indigenous Patagonian word for “whale.” Pink grapefruit, kafir lime, a delicate touch of ginger and tropical guava notes create a balanced acidity and refreshing summer wine.
Elouan Rosé
