🍷 WHAT IF YOU COULD ASK THE WINERY OWNER ANYTHING?

Here’s your chance.

Good Harbor Vineyards co-owner Taylor Simpson is coming to MBTB for Sips & Stories — and this one is intentionally casual.

Grab a $10 build-your-own flight of 3 Good Harbor w**es, pull up a seat and hang out with Taylor.

Ask about the w**es.
Ask about growing grapes in Leelanau.
Ask what it’s like to carry on a family w**ery that dates back to 1980.
Ask what he drinks when nobody’s watching. 😉
Or just sip, listen and find a new favorite.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24
📍 Shelby Township | 1–3 PM
📍 Royal Oak | 4–7 PM
🍷 Build Your Own Good Harbor Flight of 3 | $10

No tickets. No reservations. Just drop in, grab a flight and sip some stories with us.

Tag the person you're bringing. 👇

Chocolate + w**e = always a perfect pairing… right? 🍫🍷

Not so fast. David is busting another w**e myth — because when it comes to chocolate and w**e, what you pair matters.

And since it’s October, we’re taking our research very seriously around here. 😉🍬
Watch to see what David has to say — then tell us: What’s your favorite w**e + chocolate pairing?
