Wine for the Masses

Wine, Cheese, and Michigan

As a further jaunt into the wealth that Michigan offers, let us take a peek at Black Star Farms.

There are not many wineries (that I am aware of) that feature the diversity that is hosted by Black Star Farms. Most wineries sell cheese, but few actually make it alongside the wine. And then when you're not feeling quite snooty enough, go for a horse ride in the stables. Wine, cheese, and equestrian fun; all in one place. Upper-middleclass eat your hearts out!

However, despite the non-standard approach to a winery, the wines offered are quite good. I have fallen in love with a particular Riesling that, though it's not in the traditional blue bottle, is still extremely tasty and good. It only gets better with a nice bit of cheese on wheat crackers.
