Michigan By The Bottle new owners: Simpson family

The metro Detroit company Michigan By The Bottle has got new owners from Leelanau County, and they are very familiar with the state’s wine industry.

The deal took 12 to 18 months to complete for the Simpson family who own Simpson Family Estates on the Leelanau Peninsula.

“It’s a collective of high quality Michigan Wineries,” said Sam Simpson, co-owner of Michigan by the Bottle. “It’s small producers that are working together to take Michigan wines and bring them to the customer.”
