October 14 there will be a wine tasting here in Harbor Country. It will be an event that has a long history and promises to be a lovely, tasty and interesting evening. (In the spirit of full disclosure I work on Sundays for the firm - Wine Sellers - that is hosting it.) Below is the press release.
Autumn Bacchus Festival Returns!
Union Pier’s Wine Sellers, Inc. announces their Twelfth Annual Autumn Bacchus Festival will be held Friday, October 14, 2011, from 7:30 until 10:00 P.M., Eastern Time. Guests will have the opportunity to sample more than 80 wines from all over the globe at this walk-around tasting, to be held at the Marina Grand Resort, 600 West Water Street, New Buffalo, MI. Wine industry professionals will be on hand to facilitate and answer questions that arise. Chef Jenny Drilon of the resort’s Bentwood Tavern has designed a specifically paired tasting menu of seasonal foods for the evening. Special programming that evening will feature Black Star Farms, Michigan’s award winning winery, located in Suttons Bay on Leelanau Peninsula. Recently, chef Mario Batali called the Black Star Farms Arcturos Cabernet Franc, "the best Michigan wine ever."
Additionally, publisher, Victoria Brenneman of Edible Michiana will be on hand to introduce the new publication to attendees. The magazine is part a nationwide group of locally published magazines. Edible Michiana is dedicated to the growing local food movement in northern Indiana and southwest lower Michigan
All wines poured will be offered at a significant discount that evening only. Reservations are highly recommended, as space is limited. The fee is $52 per person. Call 888-824-WINE for reservations and information.
