Stafford’s Wine Collection
We are pleased to introduce our fourth wine to Stafford’s Private Wine Label Collection. These wines were selected by our VP of Food & Beverage, Brian Ewbank, who wanted to bring a distinct wine collection to northern Michigan to pair with Stafford’s menu offerings. Our Sales & Marketing Team - Angie, Jamie, Becky, Judy, Debb ie & Lauren.
Released in Summer 2014, is our 2013 Sauvignon Blanc from Rutherford Napa Valley. Chosen for Stafford’s Bay View Inn, this is a crisp, flavorful wine with refreshing acidity with notes of orange blossom, melon and a tropical pineapple finish.
Specifically chosen for Stafford’s Perry Hotel, is our 2012 Chardonnay from Russian River is a wine with notes of lemon, pineapple and balanced with a long finish. Our 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa was chosen for Stafford’s Pier Restaurant. This wine is a classic Napa grape with great cherry preserves and snappy!
