And why wouldn't there be? Bowers Harbor Vineyards, on the shores of Lake Michigan, is right on the 45th parallel, just like Oregon's Willamette Valley, the northern Rhone in France, Italy's Veneto.
Enjoyed a glass of Bowers Harbor pinot grigio with a risotto of artichokes and spinach at Marco, a decidedly European café just outside Grand Rapids. Eat local, drink local! Not expensive, either.
Ron - I went to school in Michigan's small northern wine country. I am so pleased that you mentioned the wine. I am more surprised you went to Michigan - especially Grand Rapids! Drink up!
