Larry Mawby, Peninsula Housing and Leelanau Michigan Foods & Wines

Our guest for "Cooking with Community Leaders - Leland, MI Edition" is Larry Mawby. Larry was the founder and owner of Mawby Wines until 2020 when he retired from full-time wine making. While retired, Larry tackled the Affordable Housing issue in Leelanau County and started the Community Land Trust Non-Profit Peninsula Housing. We discuss Mawby Wines, Peninsula Housing, and the Leelanau Conservancy with Larry.

Today we are tasting several Leelanau (Michigan) County foods (Peas & Peanuts, Carlson’s Fish Dip, Natural Northern Jalapeno Cherry Spread, and Cherry Republic Cherry Salsa. And we are pairing them with some sparkling wines from Mawby's Sparkling Wines. 

Larry explains how the sparkling wines at Mawby Wines are made.
