Home to Modern Craft wines, the Silver Lining is a tasting room/gift shop featuring all of the…read morewines under the Modern Craft name and what an array of wines they have. We stopped in while traveling up north and were pleasantly surprised to find a cute little wine tasting room in the small town of West Branch, of all places. I've been to West Branch several times before (we usually stay at a cabin on the water with our friends), but I've never seen anything associated with a winery here before, so I had absolutely no idea what I was missing! They had quite an array of reasonably-priced wines, starting around $11 and going up from there to around $22 per bottle. We were offered a free wine sampling of a couple of different varieties, including a semi-dry, but buttery chardonnay ($11), which had a nice, rich flavor for a lower-priced bottle of wine. I would recommend that anyone who likes white wines. It was a hit with me after just one sip. It wasn't too dry or too sweet. It had some nice, subtle notes that I could detect afterward. Next, we tried a chocolate wine. My husband was very hesitant at first, but came around on it after giving it a chance. I liked it, myself, too. It was a richer wine, probably not for everybody's taste, but I found it quite suitable. We were told it was infused with Mackinac Island Fudge, so that must be what gave it its incredibly distinct chocolate taste. If you like chocolate or fudge, this one is a winner. The manager/owner suggested mixing it with Modern Craft's cherry wine for optimal effect. He said the two bring out the best notes in each other. He then paired them together for me and you know what? He was right. Count me in! Another winner. He was both engaging and quite knowledgeable about the wines they had in stock. He definitely knew his stuff. Beyond that, there were several other interesting wines at a mid-range price point that looked worth trying, including a blackberry wine and a variety of lighter, fruity wines, suitable for a summer evening. They had a special on some discontinued seasonal wine, running about 50% off, which was a bargain. Aside from the tasting room, the space is home to a small gift shop featuring home decor and accessories. I didn't bother to check it out too well, but looking around I saw some cute things that I would like. I wish I had taken a little more time to check out the gift shop as well, but I focused my visit solely on the wine tasting. I'm really glad we stopped in. It made for most pleasant side trip foray. I would never have known this place was here if I hadn't decided to stop into town just to look around for an hour or two.

A very nice, "homey", wine tasting experience…read more First off, Linda (hostess and wine expert) and Chester (wine maker and expert) are amazing people. We had been passing the road that takes you to this winery for years and finally decided to stop in. We were the only ones in there for most of our tasting, then another group came in and were really friendly. The wines that were offered were all fruit based and Linda explained that each season offers many different fruit based wines. The specialty ones for the month were Plum and Rhubarb and I think they were finishing up a Pumpkin one (which is probably available now, in the fall as I'm writing this). We had wines we've never heard of of had before. Plum, Rhubarb, & Tomato were very interesting and unique. The wine is not too strong and full of flavor, along with great conversation. We had to have been there for over an hour, just for a tasting! We got to know Linda and Chester quite well and because it was our wedding anniversary, they gave us a little bit extra of an experience! Sometimes the best experiences are at smaller places. Vine-N-Berry definitely fits that category and I am so glad that we got to stop in there. Now we have a glass and can come back when we choose to taste more wine. We walked out with a few different bottle, a Cherry, Raspberry and Pineapple. All were delicious when we got to taste them. It was so hard to decide what wines to taste during our tasting, we wanted to try them all! If you're looking for a "cozy", non-corporate, personal experience at a wine tasting, along with some amazing wine, come to Vine-N-Berry. It'll be well worth your time!

This is a lighthearted approach to something usually taken super seriously. At Modern Craft the fun is in the mix. These folks pour combinations of wines with soft drinks and come up with stuff that tastes like fruit punch and orange creamsicles! It's a hoot. Five bucks for the tasting and you get to keep your glass. Bottles are affordable. Most people take a few home. Plus, City Market itself is great. Go for wine, stay for the entertainment. The Bay City owners are hilarious. You'll want to go back.

B&B Winery is a hidden gem outside of Ubly and Bad Axe. The home start-up has grown 3x its size in five years and hosts various vendor events, painting classes, belly dancing, and more. You're sure to have a great time and enjoy learning the meaning of some of the wine names. Like why are some of the wines called threesome, Bad Ass, and swingers? The stories will surprise you and the hospitality will win you over. Definitely worth a visit to sample, sip, and shop.
