As we finished our gourmet hotdogs on Saturday afternoon, we decided to stop in this wine store a few blocks south of our apartment. It's a very unique little store with a great selection of Michigan wines. The owners try very hard to keep their prices low so they avoid higher-priced Napa Valley and French wines. They had a great selection of craft beers and Michigan wines, as well. The owners are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The store was very simple and peaceful. It made me feel as if I were back in Napa/Sonoma. I tried Brassfield Estate Sauvignon Blanc. It was very light and crisp, without being too sweet. (I refuse to launch into full-on wine-snobbery as I am out-matched by many of my well-informed friends.)
It was delicious. A side-note: it is also a screw top. I don't feel quite as bad drinking wine out of a screw top bottle when it costs more than $10 ($15.00 to be exact :) ) That, my friends, is the extent of my wine snobbery.
My husband decided to put together his own mix-n-match six pack of beer. He got to try several unique beers, including an apricot ale. We will definitely be back. Yum!
