Heart & Soil: Northern Michigan Wine Country

By Chris Kassel

Perched on the periphery of viticultural sanity, the twin peninsulas of Leelanau and Old Mission form one of the most fascinating wine appellations in the world. A weather phenomenon called 'lake effect' keeps these fertile promontories-on the same coordinates as Minneapolis-warm enough to grow world-class vinifera grapes.Award-winning author Chris Kassel takes an inside peek at Northern Michigan wine country-the pioneers and the punks, the rebels and the rabble among this remarkable, pliable community. This is the tale, not the lecture; an irreverent overview of Northern Michigan that highlights not only the character of her wines, but the characters who make them.'Heart and Soil' is hardly a puff piece, but it's still a love story.
