Glen Arbor Wines' Lake Dog Sparkling Grüner Veltliner

Bottoms Up
By Anna Faller | Oct. 4, 2025

Celebration is the name of the game at Glen Arbor Wines in downtown Glen Arbor—celebration of northern Michigan, of lake life, and top-notch local wines—and nothing says year-round celebration like their Lake Dog Sparkling Grüner Veltliner. Named for Crystal Mountain’s effervescent former K-9 ambassador, Fisher, this stainless steel-fermented sparkling features 100 percent Grüner Veltliner grapes, a zippy white varietal sourced from the Leelanau Peninsula. The result is a delightfully dry and complex bubbly with notes of bright citrus, greens, and a peppery finish. Pair it with food (oysters and salad, anyone?) or savor this sippable party on its own. Come for the fizz, stay for the fun at Glen Arbor Wines at 5873 S Lake St. glenarborwines.com. (Psst—check out the Fisher Fund, a pet-centric nonprofit, at cedarpolkafest.org/the-fisher-fund!)
