Mary Michelle is an Illinois winery. Anne and I typically explore local wines as we travel around, but this is the first wine we've ever had from Illinois. Actually, this one was a real surprise. Deep purple color with great grapey/cherry fruit with some mineral, meat, and smoke elements. Lip smacking finish. All-in-all, really enjoyable. Anne had no idea what we were drinking and said "This is pretty good" before even realizing that we were drinking. Surprisingly, it weighs in at 13.5% alc., which is higher than I would have guessed. Well done. Ran $11 up in Chicago at Binny's.

Yeah, we've had some nice ones from N. GA (the best probably from Tiger Mountain) and from VA. I'd like to try a few from MO. I wasn't expecting much from it, as the IL wine industry is well behind those of, say MO and VA, but it was well made.

Agree with those from MO and VA. Have enjoyed them from Mt Pleasant in MO and Horton in VA.
