Michigan Wine “Exotic” to Some

Adam Satchwell, winemaker at Shady Lane Cellars in Suttons Bay, recounts in the Detroit News a dinner organized last month by Jonathon Alsop of the Boston Wine School. The dinner featured exotic wines, including Shady Lane Cellars' Sparkling Riesling and Late Harvest Vignoles. "When Jonathon told me he was pitching this dinner under the label of 'exotic,' I at first laughed," Satchell wrote to columnist Sandra Silfven. "Michigan exotic? Then with a little time, it dawned on me that what Jonathon was perceiving and pitching as exotic was truly just that to the good people of Boston."
