I took a road trip to the Maple River Winery in search of pumpkin wine. As a lover of all things pumpkin, I had to investigate! Though I am not a white wine fan, this I could handle, mostly because of the fact that it isn't technically a white wine since it is made completely from locally grown pumpkins and not from grapes. I also learned that I really like cherry wine and I found another winery in North Dakota that makes a really good one. This winery, the Dakota Hills Winery, also makes a currant wine. The Maple River Winery is coming out with a lilac wine made from hand picked lilac blossoms in November, and I promise I will go back to investigate that as well!
In other news, I found out that they re-released Boo Berry cereal for Halloween! This flashback to my childhood was welcomed with open arms. Where did I find it? For you other 80s fans out there, I found this in enormous quantities at a super Walmart. They also re-released Franken Berry, too. But before you get too excited, here are some differences. It is now purple. I distinctly remember it all being light blue and white before, but the Boo Berry is now purple.
I also found a pumpkin cinnamon roll recipe with cream cheese glaze that I am going to try out as soon as I can find some counter space to work with, and I will report on how those came out with a link to the original recipe!
See you all in the pumpkin patch!
