On Tuesday, the 36th annual Michigan Wine Competition will take place at the Kellogg Center in East Lansing. Some of Michigan’s top wineries will present their best creations to a panel of wine experts from across the state and nation.

 
Karel Bush, the promotion specialist for the Michigan Grape and Wine Council, and Lee Lutes, winemaker at Black Star Farms in Traverse City, join the Current State and talk about the event, as well as our state’s ever-growing wine industry.
