Crisp apples, roasted nuts, spicy ginger, herbaceous rosemary.
Those are some of my favorite flavors of the fall and winter seasons, and they all magically meld together just perfectly, somehow. I have definitely been on a kick with creating all-cocktails-apple lately, and this particular recipe incorporates all of these components…
I owe you all and myself a proper catch-up post here. That’ll have to wait, but I’ll give you a little peek into what’s been going on. So much has changed over the past three months, since we’ve transitioned from city life to farmer life. Out of all the…

📍tart Rainier cherry
📍medium-plus acidity
📍vibrant effervescence
📍the faintest hint of shortbread on the finish, accentuated with underripe strawberry notes
📍75% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay
📍11% alcohol, so very drinkable
📍$15 on the shelf and also available in a canned format
