Mary Fuscaldo LPV’s 2007 Featured Artist
This year’s brochure cover, by Mary Fuscaldo, was commissioned by the Traverse City Tourists Bureau to highlight the Grand Traverse Area for the National Governors Conference in North Carolina. The original was purchased by Leelanau’s newest winery, Forty Five North, and will be used on their premier wine label. Giclee Limited Edition Reproductions of the painting are available from the artist. Mary graduated with a BFA in Art Education from Drake University, has studied at the Cincinnati Art Academy, attended pastel workshops in Scotland and Provence, France and painted in Italy, the Southwest United States and most recently in New Zealand.

Mary’s popular paintings have appeared on the covers of the American Spoon Foods catalogs, three ForeWord Magazine covers and are in college, corporate, library and numerous private collections throughout the country. Her painting “The Lake Beckons” was selected for the 2003 Leland Wine Festival poster. Mary illustrated and published “Look About You - A Magical Childhood in Michigan’s Wild Places” - a best selling book that was a finalist in 2003 for the Great Lakes Booksellers Association Book of the Year Award. Mary teaches pastel workshops and classes at the Art Center in Traverse City, Crystal Lake Art Center in Frankfort, the Leland Community Cultural Center, the Midland (MI) Center for the Arts Studio School and in her studio.

Michigan Grape & Wine Industry Council www.michiganwines.com Old Mission Peninsula www.wineriesofoldmission.com Southwest Michigan www.miwinetrail.com Southeast Michigan www.pioneerwinetrail.com Tasting Notes The LPVA wineries welcome you to the Leelanau Peninsula wine appellation, a world-renowned, fruit-growing region that offers the greatest concentration of wineries in Michigan.
We invite you to visit our tasting rooms to sample and purchase wines. When you return home we encourage you to seek out our wines at your favorite wine shop and restaurant.
Here are a few notes to improve your wine tasting experience.
Make a plan. Determine how many and which wineries you are going to visit. If you are new to wine tasting let the wineries know and they will assist you in choosing wines to try.
Please enjoy your wine tasting experience responsibly. Consider a designated driver or using one of the listed limo or bus services.
Take your time, ask questions. Many of our wineries offer complimentary tasting to help you find wines to enjoy. Once you find those wines, purchase them to enjoy later when you return home. Wineries offer case discounts so inquire.
Not every wine is for everyone. If you find a wine that you may not care for simply pour it out and try something else. Don’t ruin the experience for others who might enjoy a wine that you may not.
State of Michigan law limits the size of sampling pours and each winery has their own policies on the number of samples they offer.
We have over 100 wines; so don’t try to taste them all in one day. Spend a night or two at one of the accommodations listed and visit our wineries over a couple of days.
Have fun! Remember wine tasting is fun and informative. Each tasting room has a knowledgeable and courteous team to assist you. Don’t be intimidated by the occasional wine “know it all” that may be next to you. Only you know the wine or wines for you.
When you find wines you enjoy purchase them to take home for later enjoyment or to give as gifts.
