Holiday Cocktails
I simply love this time off year. There is chill in the air, carols on the radio and tinsel in the malls. The holidays are upon us. I host several gatherings over the holidays and love welcoming guests to our home with great food and, of course, a special holiday cocktail - something delicious with a nod to the season.
Perfect Summer Wines for a Michigan Garden Party
I am terribly spoiled as I experience summer conditions just about every day in Planterra’s sun-splashed conservatory. For me, summer is more than a season, it has a scent, a flavor and it’s a state of mind – that’s why I enjoy cracking open my favorite bottle of French rosé or dry Michigan Riesling on a sunny day in January. The solar rays combined with the crisp and aromatic flavors of a summer wine transports me to the shores of Lake Michigan or the seaside of La Rochelle; I call it “summer in a bottle.”
Winter Wedding Signature Cocktails
It may be sunny and 85 degrees outside, but in the Conservatory we are busy planning this upcoming winter weddings. David had has come up with a list of cocktails we plan to feature at Planterra weddings this coming season. Cheers!
