The month of Autumn is marked by more than pumpkin spice lattes. That’s right. It is also that time of the year when you change your wine or beer. You will soon be sleeping in cooler nights and waking to crisper mornings. The change in temperature also calls for a change in your choice in wine or beer preferences.
FALL WINE OPTIONS
Dry Riesling by Cogdal vineyards
Dry Riesling starts off with punchy citrus and green apple nose, which is then followed by a full-body taste of grapefruit, that’s complemented with a lovely melon finish. The taste is perfect for the cool fall months and makes for a great companion during those long nights. Pour yourself a glass of this dry Riesling and indulge yourself to some rich and lively flavor.
Merlot by Cogdal vineyards
This savory Merlot is made from dark-skinned grapes that hail in Cogdal Vineyards, bringing with it the flavors of ripe cherry, strawberry, and mocha, with a light pepper finish making it an unbeatable combination with a bowl of pasta.
FALL BEER OPTIONS
Fall beers are created to enjoy with ease. The rich taste of a fall brew helps facilitate those deep moments of reflection that we often experience during this seasonal transition.
DGS 7 Russian Imperial Stout by Three Blondes Brewing
Forget pumpkin ales, the DGS 7 Russian Imperial Stout by Three Blondes Brewing will give you a dose of chocolate, coffee, and caramel notes met with raspberry and smooth vanilla. This is by far, the best fall beer with a delectably crisp finish.
Michigan Amber by Big Lake Brewing
If you’re looking to taste something that’s a little close to home, then why not go with Michigan Amber by Big Lake Brewing. Each bottle boasts flavors that are a complex, yet a delightful mix of Lake Michigan water and locally sourced ingredients. It has just enough bitterness and carbonation, and an herbal aroma to offer a pleasantly crisp and refreshing finish. Best enjoyed with a hearty stew on a chilly night.
