Overnighter, followup

Posted by Greybeard on Dec 23rd, 2009 in News and weather | 4 comments

Back from our trip to Leelanau country.  Christmas wishes were exchanged and we bought a little bit of wine,  including something new from SilverLeaf,  “Purple Foot”,   Mark say’s it’s from a small run of Malbec.  I’ve yet to make a determination on it’s quality,  but it’s a “big” red.  They had had a recent snow,  and the drive was beautiful,  if at times a little exciting.

After out vineyard visits,  we made a stop in downtown Traverse City.   Notibly, we checked out Fusinis’s Oils and Vinegars .  An interesting shop,   look at the previous link I’ve provided and you’ll note that it’s a long narrow shop with containers of olive oils and vinegars on either outer wall.   Also provided are very small plastic tasting cups (like those used for pills in a hospital).  You are encouraged to wander up and down the rows,  tasting those oils and vinegars that interest you.   They have some very interesting flavor combinations.  If  you like E.V.O.O. (extra virgin olive oils) and Balsamic vinegars,  you’ll be sure to find something you like there. (we did)
