Wisconsin-made pumpkin wine?
Yeap! Pumpkin wine.
Original from Three Lakes Winery
You can make wine out of just about any fruit. If it’s ripe enough you can mash it up, ferment it, bottle it and–if you dare–drink it. So when we heard that Three Lakes Winery
in Wisconsin produces a pumpkin wine
, we knew we had to try it since Halloween is right around the corner.
The wine is made by fermenting a puree of pie pumpkins–ones that are grown for eating, not decoration–before it’s filtered and bottled. The result is a dark, golden-colored wine that smells, well, sort of like a pumpkin after you’ve carved it and displayed it on the front porch for a few days. The aromas are…pungent.
On the palate, however, the wine is pleasantly semisweet if one-dimensional, but is definitely fun and drinkable.
