From the Vine: Exploring Michigan Wineries by Lorri Hathaway and Sharon Kegerreis has just been selected to receive the prestigious 2008 Michigan Notable Book award by the Library of Michigan. This annual award is given to the 20 most notable Michigan titles published in the previous year and was set up to honor quality books about the state of Michigan or written by Michigan authors. From the introduction:
… our stories give insight into the people behind Michigan wine and give you a behind-the-scenes peek into their winemaking operations. And like us, you’ll discover Michigan wineries are run by farmers, entrepreneurs and conservationists, all rolled into one.
These men and women of Michigan wine are passionate for preserving our farmland and for growing high-quality fruit. They are passionate for sharing how best to enjoy their wines and appreciate the flavors that are truly unique to Michigan for its maritime Great Lakes climate. In essence, they are passionate for creating value-added agriculture and destinations where great wines and food are married for the ultimate experience.
You can order autographed copies of the book by this Thursday (Dec 20) through their web site at michiganvine.com and get priority shipping at no extra cost.
