With this program we have reached the end of our Michigan wineries tour and it’s been an eye opening experience. We will be visiting Michigan again likely this summer to discover more of the state’s wealth of wineries, but today we feature Winemaker Brian Hosmer of Chateau Chantal in Traverse City. Chateau Chantal is a big, beautiful winery on Old Mission Peninsula offering a diverse selection of wines, incredible views as well as a Bed and Breakfast. Once again, the ground was covered in heavy snow as we made our way up the long drive. Brian was an excellent interview telling us about unnamed grapes, life on the peninsula and the science of making good wine.
