The weather this week has been unusual on Leelanau Peninsula. We were not sure what to expect so had brought a variety of layered clothing. The only thing we forgot was an umbrella that would have come in handy yesterday. Today is still a question mark.

What’s really interesting is the attitude of the winemakers and vineyardists in this cool climate area. They are enthusiastic about producing quality wines that are reflective of the terroir. The winemakers know that not every year will be ideal. However they are willing to work within the parameters of this terroir just as every wine region does. On Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsulas, the winemakers will not release a wine that is considered inferior.

Cheers,
