Early Fall Bucket List

September 7, 2017

Thank you JaM Cellars for sponsoring this post. Looking for Butter Chardonnay or JaM Cabernet near you? Check out our Store Locator! Just pop in your zip code.

One of the things I love most about living in New York is the weather. We really get to experience each season in all its glory! Fall in New York is pretty magical. I never get tired of admiring the changing leaves! For me, Fall is usually a mix of entertaining at my house and taking part in all the traditional activities like apple picking, pumpkin picking and attending local fall festivals and markets.
I’m an obsessive list maker (seriously, there is something so satisfying about checking something off a list!). I love to create bucket lists at the beginning of each season so I can plan all the activities I hope to experience. I teamed up with JaM Cellars to bring you some highlights from my Fall Bucket List this year:..because wine and fun go together like Butter & JaM!

Early Fall Bucket List

Knit a cozy sweater– I like wine that tastes great but is also affordable. JaM wine is priced under $20 and it’s available in a store near you. I love Cabernet in the Fall! JaM Cab is a yummy mix of blackberries, black plums, black currant, cassis and more—this
easy-to-love Cabernet is all about the fruit. Harvested at perfect
ripeness and made in the tradition of great Californian winemaking, JaM
Cab bursts with lush berries on the nose and palate. Aging in their unique
blend of new oak smooths the wine and adds a lingering touch of
vanilla to the finish.

One
of my favorite ways to unwind at night is to break out my latest
knitting project, put something on Netflix and pour a glass of JaM
Cab. Most of the knitting I do is for Indigo so I want to treat myself to something this fall. Making an oversized sweater with slouchy sleeves is at the top of my list!

Girl’s Night In– Crisp fall evenings are perfect for spending indoors…preferably around a fire! Between work and raising kids, my friends and I are always busy. One of my goals is to host a fun get together complete with bite sized snacks and JaM Butter Chardonnay and JaM Cabernet!

Sunset on the beach- After Labor Day, the tourists leave Southampton and it goes back to being a quiet, little town. I love heading down to the beach at this time of year. It’s always deserted and watching the sunset is so relaxing!

Outdoor pizza party- Pizza and wine, a match made in heaven! My favorite pesto pizza would pair well with JaM Cabernet. I love cooking pizza on the grill while the weather is still mild. I love having family over to hang around the firepit and share stories, laughs and of course JaM!

Fall craft time- It should come as no surprise that I love DIY/craft projects! I plan on pouring a glass of JaM Butter and getting to work on a Fall Harvest wreath for the front door. Butter Chardonnay is rich, bold and luscious. Made in the tradition of
quality Californian winemaking, the grapes they select are juicy, ripe and
bursting with flavor. They cold ferment this easy-to-love Chardonnay to a
lush creaminess and age it in their unique blend of oak. Butter brims
with stone fruit and baked-lemon notes and has a lovely, long, vanilla
finish. Simply put, it melts in your mouth!

I’d love to hear what’s on your Fall Bucket List! If you need some more inspiration “Summer, SLOW DOWN!” has some fantastic ideas! Cheers to a beautiful Fall, friends!
