WIOG Weekly Roundup: Oct. 28, 2012

This edition of WIOG Weekly Roundup features wines we tried at Good Harbor Vineyards over Labor Day. 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!

Good Harbor Moonstruck Blanc de Noirs NV: "100% Pinot Noir. Green apple, very fruit forward, a lot of tanginess." — Shannon
Good Harbor Sleeping Bare Blanc de Blanc NV: "100% Chardonnay. Much drier than their other sparkling wines, pear, very refreshing." — Shannon
