They have a wine suggestion with each entree - often the demi sec or reisling. The winery tour is worth taking, too. We were just there today and came home with two cases of wine - on sale also - and two bushels of wonderful Michigan apples.Phyllishttp://rtcol.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-17435971504898749182009-07-31T17:05:19.700-04:002009-07-31T17:05:19.700-04:00I love Tabor HIll, for the same reason as you: the...I love Tabor HIll, for the same reason as you: the staff gave me confidence when ordering wine and taught me that price is not an indicator of quality.
