This edition of WIOG Weekly Roundup features wines we tried in Peninsula Cellars' tasting room over Labor Day while visiting Old Mission Peninsula. As we often stress, we're not wine experts, but we do taste a lot of Michigan wine. (You may have noticed.) 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!
