It turns out most of the wine I like is also very cheap
My current favorite is Blue Heron (local Michigan winery St Julian)
" 35,000 to 40,000 cases this year to satisfy demand, which has grown 15 to 20 percent every year since it was introduced in 1999. Those case numbers represent a sizable chunk of the winery's total production of 120,000 cases of wine. By comparison, the average boutique winery in Michigan might make 5,000 cases total.
"We've been looking for a flagship product for years," said Braganini. This thing's got legs -- I mean wings," he said.
And it's not just another sweet wine to appeal to tourists. It wins medals, including Best of Class at last summer's Long Beach Grand Cru Wine Competition. Braganini said production of the $7 white wine has practically created a winery within a winery to keep up with production.
The blend is Riesling, Vidal and Seyval, and the grapes are all Michigan-grown.
Riesling is on the rise out here in California. Two typea, a dry and a sweet. Dry Riesling is paired with spicy foods, like Thai and the sweet goes great with cheeses and PIZZA
Try A LOT and be sure to tell us ALL of your favorites!!Cheers
Drink more red wine!!! Try a Cabernet Franc for something different
