This edition of WIOG features some of the wines we tried at the Michigan Wine Showcase at The Rattlesnake Club in April.

WIOG is our attempt to give you an idea of some selections that you may be interested in checking out based on what we've been tasting. Cheers!

"Wine is sunshine in a bottle!" declares Bob Utter, who's come a long way since making his first wine as a college student "in a gallon jug from Welch's frozen grape juice and bread yeast." Now, he's making the kind of wines he can be proud of from super-cold hearty hybrids at Flying Otter, his Adrian-based vineyard and winery. Take a peek at the story behind this stop on the Southeast Michigan Pioneer Wine Trail.

"It's, like, jumping right out of the glass. That's so dorky, but it's true!" We get giddy about grapefruit as we sip (and spit, to practice our "proper" tasting techniques) a mega-aromatic 2012 Sauvignon Blanc from Fenn Valley VIneyards & Wine Cellar in Fennville. Are you a Fenn Valley and/or Sauvignon Blanc fan? Come tell us about it.
Visiting Leelanau’s new Brengman Brothers Winey at Crain Hill Vineyards is not just a trip to another tasting room, it’s an experience.
Discover wines that seduce the palate with their crisp, clean flavors; a winemaker who wears wacky hats and just plain loves fermenting grapes; and owners that learned the food and wine business the hard way — running restaurants in Detroit and other parts of southeast Michigan.
And then there’s the location — an incredible east-facing hillside on the southeast side of the Leelanau Peninsula that’s pure Michigan.
