The Wine Associate A journey to share w**e stories while writing my own: Achrimère W**es Many years ago, I decided to buy someone a really nice bottle of w**e. Let me help.

I loved drinking w**e, but really knew nothing about choosing a good bottle. I began researching and found that this beautiful fermented beverage has a storied history and so so so much information. I was immediately enamored with the idea of learning everything there was to know about w**e. I started my own w**e consulting company and was quickly snapped up by a distributor as a key account manager-then regional manager-then brand manager. I created an award-winning w**e program for a ski & golf resort in Northern Michigan (with 3 restaurants). In addition, I planted a 5 acre vineyard on Old Mission Peninsula in Traverse City. 'Achrimère W**es' had it's first harvest in 2017. The industry is ever-changing & growing which means I continue to learn on a daily basis. I am here to help the w**e novice and the connoisseur. No one should be intimidated by w**e. I was once and decided that I would never be again.

Extended summer this past weekend and yesterday. Harvest is just a few minutes-ish away. Lucky we have been. 🍇

This vineyard has magical healing powers… continuously being wrapped in the arms of her vinous embrace. 🍃

It’s Saturday morning which should be equal parts eggsnbacon and Game Day…and if you aren’t watching football later…I’m not even sure what to say…maybe just, I’m disappointed….in you…let that sink in.
P.S. I know what I’ll be having later…

My farm…16 acres, 7.5 planted to three grape varieties. The fields are alive with bees and butterflies pollinating everything…the woods play host to a thousand raccoons and deer (feel free to put up a ground blind anywhere)…and a young groundhog named Fred has set up shop in the apple trees next to the drive. I can produce 20 tons of fruit each year….unless the raccoons and deer harvest first.

Final harvest next week….

Golden hour… absolutely stunning…again

As for the grapes… NOT YET.

As for the six hours I spent painting the deck today… getting up from this position may require assistance. 😂

Midweek deck refresh… 30 mph winds… probably a smart move. My good ideas know no bounds.
