Chateau Chantal 2010 Proprietor’s Reserve Pinot Gris (Old Mission Peninsula)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Bright and lifted on the nose, this bears aromas of lemon peel, green apple and white peach, with accents of honeyed nut and wilted rose. The flavors mirror the aromas, showing very good concentration and lively acidity. The medium-long finish is zesty, warm and fresh.

Black Star Farms 2010 Arcturos Riesling
- Online Exclusive
- $16
Waxy floral and lemon skin notes are elegantly subdued on this concentrated semidry Riesling. Juicy on the palate with abundant peach preserve flavors, it finishes moderately long with on a slightly drying, tea inflected note.

Round Barn 2003 Cabernet Franc (Lake Michigan Shore)
- $45
Holiday spice aromas are interesting enough, although heavy cream and brown, stemmy notes are a bit odd. Takes a turn for the better with flavors of dark berry, cherry and allspice. Sour cherries mark the finish.

Jana 2007 Riesling (Leelanau Peninsula)
- $22
Floral, spicy and sweet on the nose, and with a straightforward, refreshing blend of typical Riesling flavors, this wine is dependable and pretty, and will pair well with spicy Asian and Indian cuisine. A touch sweet but clean.

Shady Lane 2007 Semi-Dry Riesling (Leelanau Peninsula)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
This is a pretty, poised wine with aromas of citrus, flowers and apricot, offering a combination of refreshing and voluptuous flavors. A good balance of minerality and fruit adds to the elegance of the wine. Friendly and good with soft cheeses, Asian cuisine.

An elegant surprise from Michigan, this sparkling Riesling starts with fresh apple and pear aromas and leads into balanced layers of fruit and creamy toast. Aromatic and a touch sweet, it finishes dry and snappy. A fun find.

Peninsula 2010 Dry Riesling (Old Mission Peninsula)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Slightly dusty, but piquant aromas of freshly pressed apple cider are pleasant in this fairly dry Michigan Riesling. Bright, appley flavors make for easy drinking, but finish with just the right hint of bitter lemon and lime pith.

Bowers Harbor 2010 Block II Riesling (Old Mission Peninsula)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
While floral notes waver a bit chemically on the nose, the palate on this Michigan Riesling is nicely concentrated, with abundant fresh apple and citrus flavors. Just slightly off-dry in style, it finishes sprightly with cut and focus.
