Ethanology Distillation Cocktail Bar • $$

“Shannon, Tyler, and Nick are class acts. True artists that really know what they’re doing and will leave you speechless and broke if you’re not careful. Can’t help but return every time while “up north.” They’re that great and that consistent. GO HERE if in need of indulgent libations. I would be shocked if you were disappointed.
P.S. Leave with some coffee if you’re a die hard fan.“

“We have had great service here in the past and great food. They even made a special pasta for my granddaughter. But last night was a disaster. They were out of so many options on the menu. When we ordered our burgers she said she cannot guarantee they will be made the temperature we requested because they are so busy. Wow, really? When ordering drinks so many options of beers not available. She didn’t know what brands of scotch and vodka were available. We asked for a drink menu but she couldn’t be bothered with that but continued to muddle through her iPad lists. When our food came, I had asked for my burger to be without bun. But they didn’t include the aoli sauce so I asked for some for my burger. My husbands wings came out very dry and just a dab of sauce in the bottom of the basket. So he asked for more buffalo sauce. Waitress said “oh they were tossed in sauce already. Maybe they were just sitting for awhile waiting for the other food to be done.” WOW, really? Well they are too dry. Need more sauce. Then when the bill came they charged us $2.00 for the sauces! We complained and she said she had to charge us. We asked to speak to the manager. SHE argued with us. She said she watched them toss our wings in the 2 oz of sauce and they were fine. I said there absolutely was no white aoli sauce on my burger. She said she would be ok taking that charge off. But since when do you argue with a customer? Especially someone who is a regular and have gotten those same things in the past and had appropriate sauces. Just too bad that even a manager would act this way. We hate being nickel and dimed for everything. Give it a try. They normally do have good food. Most of the time we have good service but last night was very trying.“

Chateau Grand Traverse Wineries • $$
12239 Center Rd, Traverse City - 5.49 miles

“This winery was at a time, one I’d ignore. I never found the wines very interesting. However!!!, we visited the winery and they got rid of all the tchotchkes to focus on the wine. If you are fortunate enough to meet the tasting manager Hiro Miura, you will learn about gorgeous, delicious, interesting facts about grapes in every stage and distinction and contribution to the final product called wine. I’m a retired chef and I learned so much in our relatively short visit to the vineyard. I enjoy making connections with people I meet along my travels. This visit was marked as a favorite. Thank you Hiro for sharing your passion.
Warmly,
Sharilyn“

“We visited this winery over the weekend and had such a great experience! The views are absolutely beautiful — perfect for photography and just soaking it all in. It’s a really relaxing spot with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the atmosphere.
The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and we loved that they’re dog-friendly. There’s even a park right next door with walking trails, which makes it a great place to spend a few hours (or the whole afternoon). Everything was clean and well kept, and they had heaters going so it was comfortable even in the cooler weather.
If you’re looking for a laid-back winery with great scenery and a welcoming vibe, this is definitely worth the visit! 🍷 Lots of parking.“
