In Sandra Silfven’s column on the Competition she writes:
High praise indeed for Michigan wines!!
Here’s a Leelanau Enterprise article on the wine competition.
I’m looking for a Riesling wine made by Leelanu in Grand Haven, MI. Could you tell me who sells it in this area?
Thank You
I believe Meijers sells one.
I’m surprise that a bottle of St. James Winery Vintner’s Select Seyval wine didn’t make the cut. Thanks for the list!
Considering this is a Michigan wine competition, it’s not all that surprising a Missouri wine didn’t make the cut!
