Pentamere:
the "five seas"; the
Great Lakes.
From the heart of Michigan's...um, automotive country, we
bring you wines from the vines and orchards of the Great
Lakes.
It's all
in the precision parts- great fruit with distinct regional
character-and in the custom detailing. At Pentamere,
old-fashioned winemaking craftsmanship meets innovative
design.
Yes, this is where the
rubber hits the road. We encourage you to take our wines for a
spin. Here at our manufacturing plant and proving grounds
(cleverly disguised as a winery and tasting room), there's
only one motto: Drink what tastes good to you. Whether
you're looking for the scent of leather in our barrel-aged
"131 Cabernet Sauvignon Select" or reveling in a
"Sunset Blush", you'll find styling that suits
your tastes.
Put the top down. Relax.
You're in for a joy ride.

Bottling day, August
9, 2008
|
|
The Pentamere cellar gnomes in action! On
Saturday, August 9, we'll be in the basement, bottling.
Since there's a big hole in the floor, you, the
customer, msy observe this action if you are so moved. Just
show up! We'll be there! (Oh, and you can also, ahem,
buy something.)
If you want to take this a step farther, and actually
participate in this unique experience (the more fool you),
call us at 517-423-9000, and we'll be glad to introduce
you to the bottler, the corker, etc.

Pentamere strikes
gold! (and a bit of silver, too)
|
|
Time for some shameless bragging! We always
thought that our Vidal Eiswein was something
special...and now, we know it! At the 13th Great Lakes Wine
Competition, held May 13 at Oakland University, Eiswein came
away with a double-gold. The double-gold is awarded when two
individual judging panels unanimously grant a Gold medal to
one wine.
We also note our new Walk-in-the-Water, which
grabbed a silver. Silver was also awarded to our Golden
Strawberry dessert wine.

Great Lakes history comes alive at Pentamere.
We honor the old ships of the Lakes with three great new
wines—Walk-in-the-Water, Wings of the
Wind, and Sovereign of the Lakes. How do we
determine which ships are so honored? Well, these are the
ones with the cool names (don't wait for a wine named
Walrus). Check out our newly-expanded wine list here.
