Enjoy the taste of Great Lakes-inspired wines as aficionados Lorri Hathaway and Sharon Kegerreis present passionate winemakers like Joseph Sterling, who lit Michigan's first viable wine district around Lake Erie in the 1800s. Discover how the Detroit River was utilized for bootlegging during Prohibition, how the Upper Peninsula raid on red wine made national news, and how Michigan was the first to repeal. Learn about the wineries that increased output to make Michigan a prominent wine producer throughout the 1960s, when a changing marketplace caused a drop in production and sales. Since then, new grape varieties have fueled the industry's comeback, bringing Michigan international acclaim for its regionally inspired wines.
