Michigan vineyard owners and winemakers have a lot to be excited about according to The Detroit News “Sixty-five wines received ratings and scores between 87-91 points. Scores in that range are noteworthy because they place the wines from Michigan on par with those produced in acclaimed wine-growing regions, including New Zealand, Washington, Oregon and Spain.”

“In all, 23 wineries scored 87 points or above” states the article, noting that just down the road from the Mahan Family Vineyard, Dablon Winery vineyard owner and winemaker Bill Schopf made the cut with his 2017 Riesling and its 2016 Cabernet Franc, among others.

According to the article, Madeline Triffon, a master sommelier, the country’s first woman sommelier and a long-time advocate of Michigan wines, is excited about the region’s potential and the results of the Wine Enthusiast judging.

Michigan wine culture is ascending in A-List wine culture, indeed!
