Brys Estate’s Signature Cider
We love a drink that can multitask, and Brys Estate’s new Signature Cider is a real flavor flex—in more ways than one! The brainchild of winemaker Coenraad Stassen, this world class wine-meets-cider combo starts with a 50-50 split of Northern Spy and Golden Delicious apples co-fermented, courtesy of Townline Ciderworks, with hundreds of pounds of Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The result is a crisp and sessionable sip with a stone-fruity palette with notes of apple and pear backed up by the bright aromatics of a dry white wine and a satisfyingly smooth finish. If you kick back on the winery’s deck with a glass, you’ll also be doing two things at once! Find it by the can or six-pack ($9.99) at Brys Estate Vineyard & Winery (3309 Blue Water Rd.) in Traverse City. brysestate.com.

A Friday Night Out in Downtown TC
The first Friday Night Live of the summer season takes to the streets of downtown Traverse City on Aug. 2 from 6-9pm. Front Street will be packed with vendors, food, family-friendly entertainment and activities, live performers, and local nonprofits sharing their work and stories with the public. (Note: There are only two FNLs this year—Aug. 2 and Aug. 9—so don’t miss out!) Also on Friday, shop the wares of downtown merchants with the annual summer Street Sale, a tradition since 1958. The sales run from 8am-9pm, though not all businesses will be open for the full stretch of time. Our advice: Shop early for the best selection, then return before Friday Night Live to see if any new goods have hit the street!
