Summer is nothing more than a faded memory. Gone on the lazy days by the beach, sipping Pina Coolatas. Here in the Northeast we’ve traded in our shorts for pants, tank tops for jackets and lemonade for warm apple cider.
I love this time of year. Not only do I enjoy the cool, crisp weather but I also enjoy the fact that the holidays are fast approaching. I love spending quality time with family and friends, celebrating the holidays and making memories.
Just this past weekend we were blessed to spend time with our cousins from Wales, my other wonderful cousin and her grandsons and as a special surprise my cousin from PA whom I love like a sister came to visit just for the day. It was truly a special day.
Sometimes you want more than just soda or beer when you are enjoying quality time with family and friends. Wine is always a nice alternative.
I enjoy wine (as does most of my relatives), however I prefer a lighter wine. I’m not really into the deep, dark, robust flavors. I enjoy a lighter, more fruity, even effervescing wine. A wine like those from Turning Leaf.
Turning Leaf offers a type of wine they call “”. Refresh wines offer consumers a lighter, crisper, or in their words “more approachable” line of wines. They are lighthearted wines that are great for every day, whether it’s watching your favorite college football team or to wind down after raking a zillion leaves off your yard. They are especially nice when shared with friends.
Turning Leaf Refresh wines are available in four varieties;
- Mosacto
- Pink Moscato
- Red Mosacto
- Crisp White
Turning Leaf sent me two bottles to try. I received Red Moscato and Crisp White.
I’m normally prefer a white wine, however I found the Red Moscato to be quite enjoyable. I love that this wine is effervescent with tiny bubbles to tickle your taste buds. I also enjoyed the light, fruity flavor.
The Crisp White was nice too. It was even “lighter” than the Red Moscato. It had a less fruity taste in my opinion but it was still very much enjoyable. I joked with my hubby (a non-wine drinker) that the Crisp White would make a great “starter wine” for someone looking to get into wine but needs to take “baby steps” first. I think that is why these wines are great “any time” wines. They are kind of like wine coolers in a way. You can even drink this wine over ice. You would never do that with a traditional wine.
Another think I like about these wines is that they are budget friendly. They sell for under $10.
These wines would make fantastic hostess gifts or gifts for family and friends during the holiday season.
