Nice fleshy, juicy wine. Hints at synthetic/grapey tones, but still good.

Light brown sugar and lemons on the nose. Oily texture of lemons, pear and sage. True to the varietal. Wonderful balance.

Nice minerality. Lemon-lime with a white flower sweetness I’m not loving #vinovolo #dtw

Alsatian White varietal from Michigan. Loads of mouth watering acidity! Complex nose of orange, lemon and white flowers. Lemon-Lime flavors with a hint of fresh cut grass. Minerals and chalk on the finish! Totally interesting! Really delicious! Revisited in November 2022. Still fresh tasting. Reached its peak.

Medium straw colored. Crisp w honeysuckle, vanilla, and some floral notes w a touch of oak. Go Michigan wines! This is great by itself or w light appetizers.

Dry wine with pear notes and sweet ester flavors. The taste is bold and enduring on the pallet. This wine well complements salty or spicy poultry dishes. I first enjoyed this wine on my honeymoon, and it continues to impress.

Michigan Auxerrois? Too weird not to try. Pleasant aromatics & a nice mouthfeel; aromas of pithy citrus, stone fruit & flowers. Definitely demonstrates the potential of the Leelanau Peninsula. #drinkmichigan #coolclimate #auxerrois #leelanaupeninsula

Weighty on the palate and has an amount of viscosity.
