In modern wine history, no singluar event had has as much impact on the industry as the 1976 Judgement of Paris. A wine competition in which the plucky Americans went head to head versus the historic Crus of Bordeaux, and won. The market shifted nearly, overnight, and hasn’t really looked back.

Join us in celebration of this event, as we square off 3 cabernets, and 3 sauvignon blancs in our own mini-battle of the bottles.

What a year it’s been so far…

So many delicious Michigan breweries, so little time.
We finish the first half of the year, with a little recap of some of our favorite breweries of the Mitten State with a selection of classics, and new releases.

Plus, we’re getting you ready for the rest of the years’ schedule, with a preview of our next beer mission:
THE FIRST ANNUAL CRUSHED GRAPE STYLE SHOWDOWN.

What does that mean? Well, if you’re in town, you're gonna have to stop by, and see.
Plus, you can try some delicious beers…I suppose.

You know it.
You Love it!
You’ve been saving all your pennies* for it

It’s The Crushed Grapes BEST IN SHOW - Q2!

Will your wine be featured?!

Only two ways to find out;
1) Buy more of your favorite between now, and the 27th.
2) Show up and see.

Always a favorite. Always a good time.
Let’s kick off Summer right.

There is a wide world of wine out there that we’ve not begun to explore.
Join us for week 3, as we delve into some of the forgotten wines and grapes from Europe.

We’re continuing our exploration of beers in, and around, Grand Rapids as part of the First Annual Furniture City Beer Month.

But we’ve got a bit more in store for you as well.

Yes, there will be beer, ARVON, in fact. One of favorite breweries in all of Michigan has been pumping out the quality brews since 2018, and havent looked back since.
From very humble beginnings, to surviving the pandemic, to being one of the highest rated breweries in the state, this crew has seen it all over the last 8 years, and don’t plan on stopping any time soon.

Well, except for stopping by our humble store to try out some of their newest, freshest barley pop.

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!
Sweet Racks and Smokin’ Butts BBQ of Grandville are parking their truck outside The Grape, and will be serving their delicious food, for all you ravenous types. Bring your wallet, you’ll want to try it all!

Then, at 6, after you’re done with us, pop on down to the Celadon Amphitheater and enjoy the first FREE concert of the year.
It’s going to be a great Thursday!

One of our favorite breweries/restaurants in the GR will be joining us in person to help us celebrate Furniture City Beer Month.

That’s right, Jackson and the team will be stopping by with a bunch of cold ones. They’re bringing the tent, they’re bringing the tunes, and they’re bringing some pies! 🍕🍕🍕🍕
Yes, we’re doing a pizza and beer tasting with the man himself, as you taste through what makes this brewery so damn delicious.

Limited food available, so come early, and let’s keep the fun rolling!

Breweries and beers are subject to change

One of the reasons we love wine, apart from the fact that it’s delicious, is that there’s always MORE to discover.

New regions
New styles
New grape varietals…

We’re running with that idea this summer and jumping outside the norm, and exploring wines from regions you may not be familar with.
For example; Did you know that Romania is the 5th largest wine producing country in the EU? They pump out more wine than New Zealand!

All that, and more, this Summer as we explore OFF THE BEATEN PATH.

Grand Rapids
fka
Furniture City
aka
Beer City USA

Grand Rapids is a city where small-scale experimental home brewers taste and tinker right alongside master brewers from some of the nation’s most acclaimed names in beer.
Join us every Thursday in June as we explore the breweries and beer that make Grand Rapids, Beer City.

Breweries and beers are subject to change

The Palasek Family, led by wine-maker Crystal Palasek, is committed to becoming a benchmark wine-maker located in Belding, Michigan, crafting wines that represent family made/owned, and the family that supports the Local Michigan Farmers.

I say this without hesitation, that Crystal is one of the unheralded winemakers in the State of Michigan, and her talent should be on your radar.
Producing a wide range of wines, from dry and bold, to sweet and desserty, LOST FAWN is a gem of a winery, and a great way to finish off our Celebration of Michigan Wine Month.

In our last week covering the beers and breweries of Southern Michigan, we travel South on 131 towards Kzoo, and the beers of One Well Brewing Company.

Opening in November 2014, One Well has been an unstoppable force of the craft beer scene in Kalamazoo. Expanding nearly every year since, either through the state, or their amazing taproom and pinball hall in the mall (alliteration intended).

Not afraid to take chances, their beers have been overlooked, and should be back on your map.

See you Thursday!
