Fenn Valley Vineyard & Wine Cellar- Fennville, MI


Kim's Review- Overall I thought the selection of wine was mediocre. I liked that they had a tasting bar that allowed us to try up to five different wines. However, I was hoping to get a tour of the winery, which didn't happen since we didn't make a reservation.

Rich's Review- The selection of wine was extensive but a majority of the wine was too sweet for me. This was the first time I ever tasted "Ice Wine", made from grapes that were left on the vine through the winter and are pressed after they freeze over, and that was the sweetest of all the wines. If you like your wine that way, then this is the place for you. If you are ever there and just happen to not be a fan of the sweet wine, try their Riesling. I'm typically not a fan of Rieslings but their bottle is fantastic. By the way, regardless of how you feel about the wine, their staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Tello Wine Bar- South Haven, MI

Kim’s Review-Tello Wine Bar had a great selection of wine. The staff was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu and wine list. The interior was very relaxing and the lighting was perfect for a quiet dinner out. I would recommend that anyone visiting South Haven defiantly stop here.

Rich's Review- We stumbled upon Tello Wine Bar and I am happy that we did. The steak that I had was excellent and the wine that was recommended was great. I do have to say that it got a bit crowded towards the end of our dinner but even with the larger crowd, we were still able to carry on a conversation with ease. I would highly recommend to anybody stopping in South Haven to head on to Tallo Wine Bar. You won't be dissappointed!
