Michigan By The Bottle Tasting Room Gets Even Bigger In Auburn Hills
Though growing in size, Michigan By The Bottle (MBTB) is absolutely not a franchise; it is locally owned and operated by Cortney and Shannon Casey, two certified sommeliers who operate by the motto, “Supporting the State with every sip.” In fact, the Shelby Township location’s opening made MBTB the first tasting room to unite multiple unaffiliated Michigan wineries under a single roof.
The new location offers wine tasting flights, take-home wine for purchase by the bottle, Michigan-made snacks, merchandise and a huge variety of special events, including live music, themed parties, wine education classes, Book & Bottle Club, and more. In addition to showcasing Michigan vendors in the snack department, the main artwork in the Auburn Hills location is by Grand Rapids artist Stephanie Schlatter, creator of the “On the Michigan Wine Trail” art series; Schlatter’s work is also featured in the Shelby Township and Royal Oak locations. A hallway gallery will also feature work by various local artists.
