Black Star Farms, a Winery Destination, Helps the Local Community

January 16, 2011 – 1:03 am

I’m always interested in the ways wineries benefit their communities. Just having a winery tasting room in a community would typically benefit restaurants, hotels, bed and breakfasts and gas stations.

Riesling Styles – Michigan or New York

April 15, 2010 – 7:00 am

Terry and I have an ongoing debate. He prefers the Riesling wines that we discovered on Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsulas in Michigan, while I favor Rieslings from around Seneca and Cayuga Lakes in the Finger Lakes region of New York. The Riesling wines from Michigan tend to have a hint of minerality on them. […]

Ice Chilling Temperatures in the Vineyard

January 19, 2009 – 2:20 pm

Last week as we visited wineries in the Northern Neck area of Virginia, ice-chilling winds buffeted us as we walked to vineyards. Even with the green foliage long past gone, the architecture of the vines is a statement of hope and a photographic opportunity. However, the mind numbing temperatures of 5 degrees Fahrenheit brought up […]
