The new Michigan Culinary Tourism Alliance (details) is sponsoring the first-ever Michigan Wine & Food Showcase on Monday, April 19, 2010 at Shiraz Gardens in Bingham Farms. Two of Michigan’s Master Sommeliers, Madeline Triffon and Claudia Tyagi, are closely involved with this project and are excited to celebrate Michigan Wine Month with this event.
Throughout the day, there will be a comprehensive offering of artisan food and wines from Michigan with lavish appetizers of local ingredients prepared by Shiraz Executive Chef Travis Waynick. Winemakers from all around the state will be on hand to discuss their wines and provide additional information about their winery operations. From 12:30-3:30 PM, the Showcase will be open to restaurant, retailer and distributor staff (contact Madeline Triffon at Shiraz for admission & info: 248-645-5289.) and from 6-8:30 PM, it will be open to the general public for $40 per person at the door. Members of the media are invited to attend any part of the Showcase at no charge.
