A wine is a wine is a wine.
We cordially invite you to the next gathering in our series of vibrant evening Salons, designed for the curious of heart and mind. Join us for an intimate, dynamic gathering of the northern Michigan hospitality community, inspired by Gertrude Stein, celebrating wine and intellectual exchange.
Our May 4 Salon features a curated selection from Benvenusa - a small portfolio of artisanal, micro producers who are defining the next era of their regions.
Benvenusa was founded in 2023 by Bobby Stuckey MS, and Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson. The mission of Benvenusa is to import small Italian growers who, for the most part, have never been imported into the U.S. These artisanal viticoltori represent what we have always loved about the country’s lesser-known wine-growing areas — undiscovered Italy, yet wines that cast a wide net of deliciousness and application.
