Winery Owner, Winemaker, Inventor, Consultant, Engineer. Nick Goldschmidt is the very definition of the kind of wine guy you want to hang out with. Nick makes wine in all corners of the world. He started very small and grew success with just as much intelligence as he has grown wine. The dude is a smart guy. Nick visited Milwaukee and the LBTV studio last week and we were lucky to get a couple hours of his time on mic, on camera and on wine.

Mari Vineyars is the type of winery you might expect to find in Italy or Napa. But Mari in on the Old Mission Peninsula in Traverse City and the winemaker is Sean O’Keefe. There was a lot of snow on the ground the day we met up with Sean so we headed to the cellar to the safety of barrels to chat about our favorite subject.

Continuing with our tour of Michigan wineries, this week we visit with Dr. Dave Miller of White Pine Winery. White Pine is located in St. Joseph and while the tasting room is not located at the winery it can be found in a bustling retail area in town. Dave has focused on wine education for most of his career as well as helping growers work with vinifera. Michigan wineries have benefitted from Dave’s knowledge and when you take the time to listen to this program, you will too.
