This week Jayme and I are conducting a blind tasting of three Sauvignon Blancs. They are in order from Michigan, California and France, but we don’t know that going into the tasting. In conjunction with this, starting tomorrow for three days, I will publish detailed wine reviews of each of the three wines on If Vines Could Talk social media, Facebook and Instagram, as part of my regular weekly reviews.

This week I talk with Glen Greiffendorf of 12 Corners. Glen is responsible for both vineyard and winery operations, and is a veteran southwest Michigan grape grower.

Jayme and I discuss the AVAs (American Viticultural Areas) of Michigan and some of what they have to offer.
