3 Michigan Winemakers - Sean O'Keefe, Bryan Ulbrich, and JayBriggss The folks who put on the City of Riesling invited me to their events this past June in Traverse City, Michigan.  I had a great time, was introduced to the many of the people who are at the helm of Michigan's viticulture, got to taste a lot more than just Riesling, and recorded six podcasts with winemakers from around the world.  This episode features Sean O'Keefe, Bryan Ulbrich, and Jay Briggs, three winemakers based in Traverse City.  These guys have been prominent in the skillful handling of Vinifera and modern winemaking that is demonstrating that wines from this special place within Michigan are world-class.  Halfway through the episode, Bob Bertheau from Chateau Ste Michelle in Washington state, slips in and widens the prospective of high-latitude winemaking.   LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE  Mari Vineyards - Traverse City, Michigan Left Foot Charley - Traverse City, Michigan 45 North Vineyard and Winery - Traverse City, Michigan Chateau Ste Michelle - Washington State City of Riesling, Traverse City, Michigan    This podcast is brought you by Tin Sheets Consulting -- a full service wine industry consulting firm that specializes in:  Small winery business strategies Winery Start Up Winemaking Direct-to-Consumer business optimization Marketing and Branding Website and social media marketing  Tin Sheets is offering a free 30 min consultation for all new customers "We recognize the varied nature of our clients needs and are happy to work with you to craft an affordable plan that fits your goals and needs."

Ep. 77: 3 Michigan Winemakers - Sean O'Keefe, Bryan Ulbrich, and Jay Briggs

Bryan has been in the wine industry since 1993. The realization that a part-time cellar rat position could develop into a legitimate career path spurred him to pursue a winemaking apprenticeship rather than a Ph.D. in political science (real tough choice, eh?).  The apprenticeship transformed into a winemaking and general management position.  Without pause, 11 years passed.  He was fortunate to be part of the modern evolution of the Michigan Wine Industry and realized it was time to start the long process of building a wine company based on a new concept.  With the support of family, friends, farmers, and a few financiers LFC was born in 2004.  A path was chosen, the load was packed, and they all started hiking up the mountain… “I love that my job is directed by the seasonal rhythm of life and as a result nothing (no wine) can ever be replicated exactly.” Here is Bryan’s story from the May 2016 event… The post Bryan Ulbrich, Left Foot Charley appeared first on Fulfillament Stories.
