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.

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.

Villa Mari 2007 Row 7 Red (Old Mission Peninsula)
- Online Exclusive

This is a medium-bodied wine with notes of dried rose, spiced pastry dough and sour cherry. It finishes short and dry, with faint flavors overlaying the firm, tannic framework.

2 Lads 2009 Cabernet Franc-Merlot (Old Mission Peninsula)
- Online Exclusive
A blend of 70% Cabernet Franc and 30% Merlot, this feels a little light on flesh, providing little cushion to the high acids. A campfire smokiness underscores the rusty dark-fruit note, which ultimately finishes a bit short.

Château Grand Traverse 2010 Dry Riesling (Old Mission Peninsula)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Subtly scented with orange rind and spice, this dry Michigan Riesling has pleasant apple and orange zest flavors accented by brisk black tea notes that leave a pronounced astringency on the palate. An easy-drinking choice from an up-and-coming wine region.

Chateau Chantal 2005 Proprietor’s Reserve Pinot Noir (Old Mission Peninsula)
- $20
Berry and spice meet in a delicate combination in this Michigan Pinot, but the overall character is edgy and acidic with a forward tartness. The wine has promise but lacks integration and style.

Brys 2010 Estate Grown Pinot Noir (Old Mission Peninsula)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
A hit of sulfur slowly blows off to reveal aromas of hot stone and maple syrup, with undertones of dark stone fruit and dill. The medium-bodied palate offers soft acids that lend a slightly flat feel, with mild tannins adding some support.
