After tasting at Tabor Hill, we needed a break before heading to our last tasting room in Saugatuck: Fenn Valley, whose vineyard is located in Fennville, MI. With several flights of wine in us and a long car ride and pit stop at the Antique Shop, we needed to get some food in our systems! Saugatuck is filled with charming shoppes and restaurants, so we had no problem finding some grub so we didn't get too tipsy! We choose a sweet little Greek restaurant called Hercules. It was right off the main strip and was just the break we needed before tasting at our last stop for the day. The Fenn Valley tasting room was staffed by a few friendly, knowledgeable wine guides. This family owned and operated vineyard creates estate-grown wine, meaning that their wines are made from grapes that are grown on their estate, not shipped in from others'. While two of the favorites from Fenn Valley are their Meritage and Riesling, our favorite was their 2009 Pinot Noir. The label has a picture of a red lighthouse on the front, but the real beauty is what's inside: this Pinot Noir has a delicious cherry and blueberry flavoring and has a robust, full taste.
