It is that time of year again! The HalloWine spiced apple wine from
Illinois River Winery in Utica is back in stock. With the cooler
evenings enjoy this wine - warmed up slightly - while on your deck or
next to a firepit.
halloween,
HALLOWINE!
Located in Utica, Illinois the
Illinois River Winery was founded in 1998 with the
establishment of Starved Rock Vineyards by Gregg
Kane.
The original block-buster fall
season wine. Customers purchase the first bottle for the
package, and keep coming back for the delicious mulled apple
wine inside. This wine
made of 100% Honey Crisp apples
spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg is most popular in fall
when served warm...a dangerous substitute for apple
cider!

WINE FEATURE
Fess Parker 'Ashley's' Chardonnay 2007

The 2007 Chardonnay Ashley's Vineyard exhibits that distinct earthiness
that seems to come from selected terroirs in the Santa Rita Hills and
Santa Maria Valley. Crisp, elegant aromas of white peaches, apricots,
quince, and white currants are followed by hints of flowers and
honeysuckle. Medium to full-bodied with good acidity as well as
beautiful balance and freshness.
