 L.
Mawby
Vineyards
Our
goal
has
always
been
to
produce
the
finest
wines
possible.
We
strive
to
make
wines
that
express
the
unique
soil
and
climate
in
which
they
grow,
the
personal
attention
they
are
given
in
vineyard
and
wine
cellar,
and
the
winegrower's
esthetic.
Our
wines
are
living
things,
raised
with
care,
giving
voice
to
our
joie
de
vivre.

A
Brief
History
Of
Northern
Michigan
Wineries
I
first
realized
that
my
father
was
serious
about
growing
grapes
when
he
announced
his
intention
to
raze
our
modest,
but
popular
baseball
diamond
in
favor
of a
nursery.
. . .
In a
rude
reversal
of the
magical
"Field
of
Dreams"
scenario,
Bernie
Rink
told
us the
diamond
would
have
to go,
replaced
by a
crop
that
no one
in
those
parts
had
ever
heard
of-wine
grapes.
