Chateau Chantal will participate with Shannon and Cortney Casey of MichiganByTheBottle.com in their first Chantal focused “Tweet and Taste” on May 10th at 7:30pm. Chateau Chantal winemaker Brian Hosmer will be joined online by Master Sommelier Claudia Tyagi and several local wine bloggers to offer their opinions and insight on the wines as they are tasted.
This is a unique opportunity to showcase Michigan wines and hear from some knowledgeable experts without having to leave your living room! By utilizing social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter, many Michigan wineries have helped create relationships with wine lovers across the state and nation.
