We drove by it, turned around and went back just to check it out and the owner let us in even though they weren't really open. He warned us he had a private client coming in and asked us NOT to touch anything. Thatis PERFECT in my book. BE SAFE! We only had a few minutes but WOW great selection of French Champagne and Wine. We grabbed aquick bottle of French Bordeaux and some awesome Blue Cheese (also from France) and left. I'm glad and sad I don't live closerto this place.

Pram is an amazing host, and will help you select your bottles prior to arrival, which is nice when we start with a whitevariety. The top restaurant in Northern Michigan, period! Wish they were located in Cincinnati!
