Visiting Old Mission and Leelanau Peninsulas

The vineyards of Traverse City included
L. Mawby, Two Lads, Black Star Farms,
Chateau Chantal, Brys Estate, Shady Lane
Cellars and Chateau de Leelanau and
Left Foot Charley winery.  The Peninsulas
are located on the 45th parallel the same as
the Freench wine regions.  The deep water
of the Grand Traverse Bay warms the
narrow peninsulas and allows grapes to ripen late
into October and early November.
