P.S. What's in my glass...

A delicious Michigan chardonnay from Bowers Harbor Vineyards in Traverse City, MI. There are so many things I love about this wine (besides of course it tastes delicious). This was a Christmas gift from my dear friend Christina and I've been waiting for the right occasion to open it. Finishing my living room called for a celebration. I was excited to open this particular bottle because I didn't develop my love of wine until after I moved from Michigan which means there are so many good wines right where I grew up that I've never tried. This summer we are heading up to Traverse City for a wild wine tasting weekend for Christina's bachelorette party, I couldn't be more excited to celebrate my beautiful friend and I think the destination choice is outstanding.
