So you just received your monthly Wine Club shipment: let’s start meal planning! When pairing wine with your meal, it’s important that the wine you’re putting on the table is sweeter than the meal. It should also have the same flavor intensity as the food. For example, white wines pair well with lower-intensity meats like fish or chicken and red wines pair better with bold-flavored red meats.

After the whirlwind of the holidays, a lot of people are left feeling a little down. We are looking at a few more (less eventful) months full of snow, car scraping, and giant puffer coats. Unfortunately, in Michigan, those winter months are also fairly grey and gloomy. We are so fortunate to have our Great Lakes, however they tend to make winter life more difficult in our area. We know the winters here are worth all the beauty in our state, not to mention the wonderful communities, and limitless activities….. BUT that doesn’t do much to combat the winter blues. ...
As summer trails off into fall, Michiganders can start to feel a little anxious about the impending cool temperatures and separation from our beloved Great Lakes. We should instead be enjoying the near perfect weather that lingers this time of year. Sun, cool breezes, and mild temperatures make September the perfect month to soak up the natural beauty of West Michigan. How can you make a beautiful day even better? Add wine of course! And some tasty, (mostly) healthy snacks! Charcuterie boards are the best. Not only are they a fun, social way to eat, they’re actually the way humans...
