For pumpkin spice wine-lovers Bishop’s Smash’N Pumpkin features cinnamon, cloves and is reminiscent of pumpkin pie in a bottle.
Holiday Spice and Nana’s Apple Pie from Buckingham Valley Vineyards
Buckingham Valley Vineyards’ Nana’s Apple Pie is 100% apple wine. The spices make this wine perfect as-is served warm in a mug on a chilly evening. Likewise, Buckingham’s Holiday Spice – a sweet red wine accented with natural spices – is a great wine for sipping warm.
Crossing Vineyards and Winery’s main seasonal wine is its Le Nouveau, a Beaujolais Nouveau style wine. The winery releases it each year on the weekend of the Bucks County Wine Trail’s Nouveau Celebration, which for 2021 will be Nov. 13-14. This deliciously fruity wine is made from the first fruits of the 2021 harvest. It pairs perfectly with holiday turkey and trimmings.
During the holidays, Crossing features its signature Chocolate Cherry Truffle, a full-flavored Port-style wine featuring a complex aroma of dark chocolate mingled with notes of black cherry, ripe plum and toasted oak. The “dessert in a bottle” offers a rich and sweet taste, with a satisfying, warm finish.
