Ultimate Food Trails: Wisconsin

In keeping with my entries of 50 food festivals in 50 states, the July-August issie of Midwest Living had a spread on Ultimate Food Trails. They went to the states of Wisconsin and Michigan and assembled two delectable trails where you go to breweries, pick fruit, eat cheese and lots of other foods.
