Meet the Rose family.
My name is Jana Rose and I'm the winemaker at Love Wines. I didn't set out to make the best wine in Michigan. I set out to make delicious blends and the most unique flavors found in Michigan wine. My awesome husband helps me with this by creating custom and unique labels for our blends and pouring wine in our tasting room. Plus he spends most days wrangling our four children... from oldest to youngest, River, Gabriel, Ryker, and Ender.
We take a great deal of pride in our family business and each bottle of wine we produce is crafted with love from our family to yours.
I was inspired to open a winery after many years of home winemaking. In 2009 I helped my father plant a vineyard and loved being immersed in all aspects of wine from growing the vines to harvesting and production. I had grown up in that very field spending hours weeding and planting our home garden as a kid. I had even won a trophy and many ribbons at the state fair as a child for the corn I grew there. I carefully studied what my father did but with a strained relationship, was never welcomed to take part in his wine adventures. So instead, I started my own advernture in Ludington, Michigan and in 2014 I opened my doors to the public and began selling my handcrafted wine.
Shortly after opening, I met my husband Nate. He soon started to share my passion for the business and loved my wines from the very beginning. In 2015 he became fully immersed in our business. It is now a joint effort between us. With him helping with the heavy lifting and me still taking great pride in making the best wine I can everyday!
We both take a great deal of pride in our crafts and are excited to share it with our customers. Stop in for a tasting soon and get to know why we Love Wine.
I am attracted very much to the simplicity of wine as a beverage. You don't have to follow a recipe to make wine. You take the fruit of the earth (any fruit at all will really do) and figure out the qualities of the fruit. You add a few ingredients, make sure the fruit is clean and stored away from the air, and voila, you have wine.
I have always liked to mix my art with a little science and wine making is just that. There are few rules to making wine. I can take what the Earth has given me and go with it.
You will find interesting flavors at Love Wines like our blackberry and black current blend called Deep Space Wine, Razzelberry, black cherry Merlot, and Strawberry Peach Lemonade. I also take pleasure in simple varietals like our locally grown Reisling, Muscat, and Marquette. I am always excited to try something new and look forward to coming up with more exciting taste experiences in the years to come.
