Happy Autumn!

Well, autumn has finally arrived. Soon there will be leaves to rake, chilly days filled with rain, etc. But there's also fun to be had. Halloween is only about a month away and there's plenty of harvest-related activities going on. This page has links to listings of corn mazes, pumpkin patches, apple orchards, and cranberry harvest celebrations. Although traditionally an Advent drink, it's getting chilly enough at night now for some glögg. Here's a recipe.

While I'm on the topic of potent potables, the White Winter Winery up in Iron River is now selling their Black Harbor.

Our Black Harbor dessert Mead is made with black currants and honey which have been produced by small, family run farms and apiaries from our area.

This is truly a regional drink, full of the rich taste of the fruit, well balanced with the residual sweetness of honey and toasted vanilla from French oak.




Now I'm getting thirsty and have a hankering for some brackett...
