9 Jun 2023 - Wine Tasting and Last Day in the Christmas/Munising MI Area

 


It's June not December!  Yeah, got it, but when in Christmas Michigan you need to get a photo with Santa!  Today is our last day in this area before we head south to Door County Wisconsin.




  This morning Doreen did one load of laundry before we move on to our next stop.  When she was done around noon we headed into Munising one last time to pick up a few groceries, top off the big ol' brown truck with her favorite beverage (diesel), and do a little wine tasting.


We visited this store in 2020 and really enjoyed their wine so why not stop back?!  They offer a wide selection of Upper Peninsula-produced wines specializing in the fruit wines, so we did another tasting and then picked out a few to take home with us.  You purchase one of their souvenir tasting glasses of your choice for $6 and then the wine tasting is free.  



I do not usually drink much wine (prefer either bourbon or non-IPA beer), but I did a tasting as well, and shared my selections with Doreen. We picked out four, highlighted in yellow above, along with a Keeper's Ice Wine which is made from Vidal grapes frozen on the vine. It is a smaller bottle slightly more expensive than their other wines. They were all very good. Of the selections above I believe my preference was cranberry. When we are in the New Lisbon WI area we usually stop at the Burr Oak Winery and resupply with cranberry wine.

On the way back to the campground we topped off the truck and then came back to complete our other pre-departure tasks.  

Tomorrow morning, not too early, we will head south into Wisconsin up around Green Bay into Door County to Bailey's Harbor where we will camp for the next five nights!

Thanks for checking in on us!
