Hallowine Returns!

It's that time of year again ... we have Hallowine!!  This sweet apple wine spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg is most popular in fall when served warm...a dangerous substitute for apple cider!  We like to feature it in oneDoor Peninsula Hallowine of our fall Farmer's Market wine tastings, but you can try it as a chilled white during creative summer/fall outings as well.

Of course it couldn't be called Hallowine with a story.  As the legend goes, in 1665 Reginald w. Hallow brought his unique blend of fall harvest apples and mulled spices to ferment in the crisp Door County air.  He dubbed his creation Hallowine ... then mysteriously disappeared.  Three hundred thirty-four years later, Door Peninsula Winery honors Hallow's legacy conjuring up the distinctive autumn flavor of the region for a limited time.  One sip, and I'm sure you'll agree, "it's so good, it's scary."
