Good News For Michigan Distillers
Thursday, June 26, 2008
Currently there is a bill on Gov. Jennifer Granholm's desk allowing artisan distillers to purchase a license to sell and provide tastings of their product onsite instead of going to the state's liquor control. At this time distillers have to purchase a $1000 a year license and only sell their alcohol thru the state, this bill if signed will drop the price to $100 and give the option for tastings and local sales. This is great news for the state and Traverse City which has a few of the 11 artisan distillers. Little by little MI is turning Traverse City into its own "Napa Valley" and I hope this trend continues. I hope to get up to the vineyards next month and visit a few of the new ones that just opened this year.
