On a trip to Detroit for Chris' birthday to catch a Tiger's game, we stopped at a few wineries along 1-94 with our friend, Steve, who is a guest wine-taster for these next few posts in our blog. Sleeping Bear Winery and Taste of Michigan Store is a little shop right off 1-94 in Albion, MI, so it's a convenient stop for travelers and locals alike who want to get a taste of a sweet refreshing Edelzwicker or an oaky, complex Cabernet Sauvignon (Erin and Chris' favorite!). Nick, our wine-pourer, also informed us that they are also working on some beers to add to their collection of delectable drinks. We sampled the Pinot Grigio, which Chris really enjoyed - it had a nice smooth, peary taste. Steve's favorite was the Edelwicker, meaning "Noble Blend" - he liked it for it's sweet, refreshing taste (it's a blend of a Gewurztraminer and a Riesling). Erin's favorite was tied for both the Cab Sauvignon (has that oaky taste and long finish that I love!) and the Merlot, which was nice and spicy. Sleeping Bear is worth the stop if you're cruising down 1-94!
