Pentamere: the "five seas"; the Great Lakes.
From the heart of Michigan's...um, automotive country, we bring you wines from the vines and
orchards of the Great Lakes.
It's all in the precision parts- great fruit
with distinct regional character-and in the custom detailing. At Pentamere, old-fashioned winemaking
craftsmanship meets innovative design.
Yes, this is where the rubber hits the road. We encourage you to
take our wines for a spin. Here at our manufacturing plant and proving grounds (cleverly disguised as a
winery and tasting room), there's only one motto: Drink what tastes good to you. Whether you're
looking for the scent of leather in our barrel-aged "131 Cabernet Sauvignon Select" or
reveling in a "Sunset Blush", you'll find styling that suits your tastes.
Put the top down. Relax. You're in for a joy ride.

Picnic time! |

The next Pioneer
Wine Trail event is the Wine Days of Summer on August 7 & 8. Each of the participating
wineries will feature a picnic-style recipe, paired with an appropriate wine for the occasion.
Tickets, as well as a list of wineries, may be acquired here. Baskets and blankets optional.

Hauling in the Hardware |
|
The Taster's Guild International Wine Judging—14 nations, 38 states,
7,000 wines—and four medals for Pentamere. Dry Riesling, Le
Griffon, Walk-in-the-Water, and Sovereign of the Lakes all received bronze
medals from the Guild.
Sovereign, Le Griffon, and Dry Riesling were also entered in the Great Lakes competition at Oakland
University, and all received silver medals. Also earning silver at OU was our Bayport
dessert wine.

Coming and Going |
|
White Swan has flapped its way
into the racks. This dry Vidal Blanc features lots of
citrus flavors. $15.00.
It's not Mariner's White, but it is...Channel Marker One! Our marine theme is
diversifying from ship names to bring you our newest sweet white wine. A paltry $10.00.
Another "ship wine" sailing in...say hello to Monarch of the Glen. This Cabernet
Franc has been well received. The Detroit News' Sandra Silfven gives it a thumbs up, here (scroll
down just a bit).
After years on the shelves, Chambourcin is down to nine bottles. If you want one
of them, you don't have much time.

Coming soon (well, not really) |
|
The annual bus tour is just around the corner. Admittedly, the corner is about a mile
thataway, but you can get tickets for this November's Big Grape Tour here.
