Colors of Autumn Romance

 My artist's eye loves the colors of Autumn. The rich golds of leaves, dark red berries left on bushes and all the glorious colors of produce.

Fall flowers add color and fragrance.

Look at the gorgeous color of this red onion harvested from my son's garden.
It matches my nail polish! LOL

The color of autumn wines match the season.
I like to celebrate the beauty of fall with
spiced apple wine and my sweet Flyboy.

Grab your honey and make a trip to your local produce stand or better yet, visit the orchard. Go on a hayride or simply enjoy wandering about. Take in all the wonderful colors and scents of the season. Take time to sip some cider and nibble on doughnuts or caramel apples. Romance is all around you in beautiful color!

Taste of Autumn in a Bottle from Leelanau Cellars

 On a fine fall day, join me on the deck and sit spell. I'll pop open a bottle of Leelanau Cellars Harvest Spice Apple wine and we'll make a toast to a lovely day.

I love the flavors of the season and picked up a bottle to try then fell in love. The warm golden color is appealing to the eye as the flavor is to the taste buds. I prefer this wine at room temperature but some have said it's good warmed up and garnished with a cinnamon stick.

I enjoyed this wine so much I drank half the first bottle the night I opened it. Yes, folks... I even place it above my beloved Witches' Brew. Oh, I tried the Witches Brew Spiced Apple. Coffee Club gals went ga-ga over it too. But I'm still putting the Harvest Spice Apple above the Witches Brew Apple. 

The Witches Brew Spiced Apple flavor is much like early harvest apples; crisp, with cinnamon and brown sugar. Mom's apple pie.

The Harvest Spiced Apple flavor is richer such as that with late harvest apples, more sweet than tart  a with a hit of oak. Imagine Grandma's apple pie. You know how everything of Gram's tastes better.

The original Witches Brew of red wine and spices is kept on the wine rack all fall and winter. I enjoy it warm with a slice or orange and a cinnamon stick. (Perfect to warm up after a hay ride or day in the snow.)

Altogether, I believe Leelanau Cellars has HANDS DOWN mastered capturing the flavor of Autumn in Michigan.  

I picked up my bottles at my local market. They are also available at Meijer.
