Southwest Michigan Wine Tour

I just recently went to several wineries in Southwest Michigan, and have to say they have the best wine in the US. I guess you could say we went on a "Michigan Wine Trail". We visited Tabor hill winery first and there selection is magnificient. They have so many wines they have to have one you will like. They also have a very upsacle restaurant. The best thing of all is the tastings are free. Well Round barn winery in Berrien Springs, MI cost $5 but you get a wine glass. The Round barn also serves beer and Vodka. The vodka is distilled from grapes and is very good. Lemon Creek winery is my favorite. Its a small tasting room in the bottom of a barn, but there wine will make you a believer in michigan wines. This is just a small portion of the wineries in Michigan. I cant wait to go on a few more wine trails and see what else is out there.

Buy Michigan

Buy Michigan! This is what we should be doing to help out our fellow citizens of Michigan. With the state of Michigan's economy in peril, we can make a difference by buying Michigan made products. You can also shop at Michigan owned companies such as Meijer to insure your money stays right in our state and creates more jobs here. We also should be thinking about taking vacations right here in our own state instead of travelling elsewhere. There are some great place to vacation in our state that many don't even realize are there. By buying michigan products and vacationing in our own state we can save and create many jobs here at home.

Saving The Great Lakes

The Great Lakes might just get the Environmental boost they need. President Obama is proposing a 475 million dollars restoration initative. It would target several of the biggest problems facing the lakes such as Pollution and invasive species. Being a resident of michigan or any of the great lakes states we know how vital these waters are. Its about time we step up and really put an effort into cleaning them up. Also proposed are a few billion for cleaning up sewers and runoff water systems, much of which will go to the Great Lake region. If this indeed happens we will definitely have a much healthier water system. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-ap-mi-obama-budget-grea,0,2657233.story
