Detention

The name alone sold me! It's a sweet red wine produced by Peninsula Cellars in Traverse City, MI. If you're ever in Traverse City, you'll have to visit the winery. The tasting room is in an old white school house, hence the name Detention. I've visited it a couple of times and always walk away with several bottles of goodness.

The wine itself has a bright berry flavor with a tangy aftertaste. It's a blend of Baco Noir, Lemberger, and Cab Franc grapes. This easy-drinking wine is the perfect thing to bring for a dinner out with friends at a BYOB restaurant because it pairs nicely with most foods. It's delicious when slightly chilled, so pop it in the fridge for a little while before you enjoy it.

Detention can be purchased online at the Peninsula Cellars website, at the Peninsula Cellars tasting room in Traverse City, or at specialty stores around Michigan. I found my bottle at Horrock's Farm Market in Lansing, MI for $12.99. What a steal!
