Michigan By The Bottle Radio Interview – August 2015

On the latest episode of MBTB Radio, Shannon & Cortney Casey talked with Bill Schopf, owner of Dablon Vineyards in Baroda, about his winery’s emergence on the southwest Michigan wine scene, the unusual (to Michigan) varietals he’s growing and more.

Versatile Verjus by Paula Bartholome, Edible Michiana

“This one-time staple of French provincial cooking is made from green grapes culled from their vines and crushed. These grapes are from the same vines that provide grapes used to make Dablon’s traditional, French-style wines. The culling allows the vine to put all its energy and nutrients into remaining grapes. Rather than throw the green grapes out or compost them, Dablon Winery used them to make a hard-to-find culinary item: verjus.”
