Wine 101 - This month's featured wines

Vineyard Demi Sec

This wine, produced in the mold of the German Piesporter, is a light, fruity and refreshingly sweet wine that has become one of the hallmarks of the Southwest Michigan wine region.

Our winemaker is the originator of this wine in our area and we continue to produce it from the recipe developed over twenty years ago. A blend of Riesling, Vidal and Vignoles grapes it is light and fruity with a crisp, clean finish that brings you back for more.

Winemaker's Notes: Classically balanced sweetness with hints of apple, pear and floral tones on the palate, this wine finishes with perfectly balanced acidity bringing you back for more.

Food Pairings: Served with appetizers, salads, lighter cheeses or enjoyed by itself; perfect "patio" wine. View recipes paired with Vineyard Demi Sec.

Red Demi Sec

The red version of our most popular wine, we created this blend as a "gateway" to the dry red wines. Similar to Lambrusco but with less sweetness and more body.

A wine that is perfect for new red wine drinkers, it may be served chilled to bring out the fruit flavors. Low in tannins it is aged in stainless steel tanks and has no oak to create a straight forward semi-dry red wine.

Winemaker's Notes: Dark ruby in color, this wine has plenty of red berry fruit up front with jammy cherry aromas. Slightly sweet, it finishes with smooth fruity aftertaste. It is an easy wine for any occasion.

Food Pairings: Pair this wine with any typical red wine food such as red meats and pastas as a softer alternative. View recipes paired with Red Demi Sec.
