Michigan Has a Growing Wine Scene, Thanks to Climate Change - AFAR

"Founded in the mid-1970s by an entrepreneur who left a metro Detroit business to plant traditional vinifera on southwest-facing slopes, this pioneering estate was once derided as a folly but became the state’s first large-scale vineyard. It now spans about 122 acres, grows a dozen grape varieties, follows sustainable practices like cover crops and winery compost, and produced a riesling that drew high praise from an international critic—helping legitimize the region and inspire many subsequent wineries." - Alexandra Gillespie
