Our Michigan wine tour will be coming
to an end with the next two podcasts, but let it be known, we will be
back! This program features Brian Lesperance, Vice President,
Operations and Winemaking at Fenn Valley Vineyards in Fennville,
Michigan. As Brian put it, this is where a hobby gets out of
control. We call that passion. We met with Brian at the tasting
room on yet another snowy day in
November. Variety, warmth and
versatility really describes the place. It may be off the beaten
path but isn’t that where wine fans love to go?

Ever since the end of prohibition,
wineries across the country have grown and experienced change in
varying degrees. From the Tasting of Paris to Oregon’s Pinot boom,
winemakers have searched the US for the next big thing. Michigan’s
wine industry is no different. For example, many young cherry
farmers have expanded their growing operations to include several
varieties of wine grapes including Riesling, Cab Franc, Cabernet
Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc to name a few. Creighton and McKenzie
Gallagher have a long family history in farming, and made that leap
in a very short time. We spoke with McKenzie at the very busy
tasting room and learned what the future will look like.
