Download or read book Up North Michigan Wines by the Bay written by William Allin Storrer and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Up North Michigan Wines By The Bay is a comprehensive portrayal of the wine industry of Leelanau and Old Mission peninsulas of northwest Michigan - describing not only the region's distinctive climate and its wineries, wines and grapes but also the determined and dedicated personalities who make it happen. Working to a remarkable level of detail, Storrer supports his research with extensive photography and maps. He brings the whole to life in conversations with owners, winemakers, growers and support organizations. Not content with nor losing sight of the "romance of the grape", Storrer delves into the work and the risk - and thus the value - behind a glass of wine. Storrer rounds out his presentation with essays on wine labeling and marketing and with photo essays on the seasonal work of growing grapes and producing wine. Presenting his information in a format that is easy to follow and well-organized, Storrer writes in an informal style that includes helpful hints to the wine-buyer on the tasting, transportation, storage and serving of wine. In keeping with the region's "foodie-destination" reputation, the book includes winery recipes and food-pairing suggestions. Linda Jones, Executive Director of the Michigan Grape and Wine Industry Council, describes this book: "Wines by the Bay is a valuable resource for those following the burgeoning growth of the wine industry in northwest lower Michigan. Bill and Pat Storrer have truly undertaken a "labor of love" in their detailed documentation of the wineries and vineyards. The excitement emanating from this emerging wine region is captured in this beautifully presented book." Of Storrer's book, Linda Murphy, author of American Wine: The Ultimate Companion to the Wines and Wineries of the United State", writes: "Those who love Michigan wine - and those savvy enough to explore it -- should not miss this in-depth, engagingly written book. All the wineries, vineyards and personalities of the Leelanau and Old Mission peninsulas are detailed in a conversational style. More than a guide for visiting tasting rooms (and an excellent one at that), it also explains how Northwest Michigan has become one of the nation's rising-star wine producers. Mouthwateringly good reading!" With its microscopic view of the region's wineries, this book will compliment the (mostly "macro level") wine literature collection of the wine enthusiast.

Download or read book You Had Me at Pet Nat written by Rachel Signer and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the publisher of Pipette Magazine, discover a natural wine-soaked memoir about finding your passion—and falling in love. It was Rachel Signer's dream to be that girl: the one smoking hand-rolled cigarettes out the windows of her 19th-century Parisian studio apartment, wearing second-hand Isabel Marant jeans and sipping a glass of Beaujolais redolent of crushed roses with a touch of horse mane. Instead she was an under-appreciated freelance journalist and waitress in New York City, frustrated at always being broke and completely miserable in love. When she tastes her first pétillant-naturel (pét-nat for short), a type of natural wine made with no additives or chemicals, it sets her on a journey of self-discovery, both deeply personal and professional, that leads her to Paris, Italy, Spain, Georgia, and finally deep into the wilds of South Australia and which forces her, in the face of her "Wildman," to ask herself the hard question: can she really handle the unconventional life she claims she wants? Have you ever been sidetracked by something that turned into a career path? Did you ever think you were looking for a certain kind of romantic partner, but fell in love with someone wild, passionate and with a completely different life? For Signer, the discovery of natural wine became an introduction to a larger ethos and philosophy that she had long craved: one rooted in egalitarianism, diversity, organics, environmental concerns, and ancient traditions. In You Had Me at Pét-Nat, as Signer begins to truly understand these revolutionary wine producers upending the industry, their deep commitment to making their wine with integrity and with as little intervention as possible, she is smacked with the realization that unless she faces, head-on, her own issues with commitment, she will not be able to live a life that is as freewheeling, unpredictable, and singular as the wine she loves.

Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Viognier, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Zinfandel make the cut.
