Chateau Grand Traverse’s Traverse Bay Cherry Wine
Bottoms Up
June 24, 2023
What’s the Cherry Festival without some cherry wine? Not only has Chateau Grand Traverse created the exclusive National Cherry Festival Wine (a semi-sweet, limited production offering that’s 40 percent cherry wine and 60 percent white) for the last 20+ years, but they also have a slew of other cherry-themed products to explore. There’s the Cherry “Port” Reserve, the Cherry Riesling, the Cherry Wine Sangria, and the Spiced Cherry Wine. But if we had to pick one, it would be the award-winning Traverse Bay Cherry Wine. Made with Michigan tart cherries, this wine is surprisingly sweet and has a gorgeous deep red color. It feels a bit like a dessert wine, though we’ve also found serving it chilled with a splash of cold sparkling water (plain, lemon, or lime work well) is incredibly refreshing on a hot summer day. Try the full Chateau Grand Traverse cherry lineup at their tasting room at 12239 Center Road on Old Mission Peninsula or shop online at cgtwines.com.
