In order to become a well informed winemaker, schooling in wine and viticulture is a must. No pun intended. Mike Moyer is Director of Wine and Viticulture Technology at Lake Michigan College in Bentor Harbor, Michigan. The Michigan wine industry is growing fast and Mike’s program has people from all different backgrounds learning the finer points of wine. Lake Michigan College was the first stop on our Michigan Winery Tour. In order to be a wine educator, you need experience, and while Mike looks young, he has definitely been around the block. Pun intended.

In November we embarked on a four day tour of Michigan wineries which proved to be eye opening. If wine fans have one thing in common (other than wine), they love to turn their friends on to different wines and wineries. So we say, checking out Michigan wine is well worth the time. We travelled up the western border of the state which is, of course, the east coast of Lake Michigan. This series begins with a guy whose passion for the grape glows from his face as he speaks. Wally Maurer is the Owner and Winemaker of Domaine Berrien Cellars in Berrien Springs, Michigan. We caught up with Wally at the winery as he finished up with the last of the grapes from harvest. The thing is, Wally is the kind of winemaker you want wine lovers to meet. It’s in his blood. And he’ll tell you why.
