"Are Those Stars In Your Eyes?" No, just a star in my wine.

"There is no need to wait for darkness to appreciate the stars. For even in the brightest day they still twinkle above you. If you have to see to believe, then you don't understand the universe." Mary E. Rapier

This wine star was reflected by a nice Dona Paula Malbec  last night while enjoying an stellar dinner at Skip's located in New Buffalo Michigan. Skip's is a nicer, fine, yet casual dining experience just on the edge of New Buffalo as you are heading up the Red Arrow Highway. You will not want to miss out on their Rib Eye special. Wonderful food, service and atmosphere.
They also have a wonderful outdoor European Market on Saturdays and Sundays from May to October. A great way to spend a weekend. Don't forget to keep exploring up Red Arrow Highway.

Boroda Founder's Wine Cellar

"What is the definition of a good wine? It should start and end with a smile." William Sokolin

Cheers from Mary  E and Roxanne. The day started out with just a simple, "what shall we do today" and ended with, let's go up Red Arrow Highway! Our travels brought us to the wine trail and Boroda Michigan, home of Boroda Founder's Cellar. It was a great way to kick off a Saturday girl's day. In all honesty, (and this is nothing against the vintners in Michigan, Illinois and Indiana) I cannot make myself really like Midwestern wine. It lacks the fortitude and umph that I have come to appreciate. The quaint aspect of a local winery is the endearing aspect of a wine flight at Boroda, but, aside from that, let's just leave it as "quaint."

There is one exception to this Michigan winery rule and that is "White Pine Winery."  
"The discovery of a wine is of a greater moment than the discovery of a constellation. The universe is too full of stars. B. Franklin, 1700's"
