Pumpkin Sparking Wine
What better way to celebrate the pumpkin season than with pumpkin sparkling wine? You may be able to think of a 100 different reasons and made a face when you read that and I wouldn’t blame you. I was once skeptical as well and tried it more out of curiosity than anything else at the Ludwigsburg Pumpkin Festival. I took a small sip, prepared to spit it out, but to my surprise, not only did I not spit it out, I had another sip, than another. Now I’m hooked and stock up on pumpkin sparkling wine each year. It’s surprisingly sweet, but not too sweet, with only a hint of pumpkin and absolutely refreshing. Despite my stash, there’s no way it’s going to make it to the end of pumpkin season, it’s simply too good. Have you ever tried pumpkin sparkling wine? Would you if you haven’t?
Kurbiswein? I have to try this. Thanks!

@Christopher – You got it, but warning it is addictive.
I loved it and an sad that I only bought the one bottle, I may have to head back to the festival to buy some more!

YEA! So excited to be linking up to your site for Food Friday – fun! I’m on the search for some Kürbis Secco as we speak. I’m sure it’s some where in Bavaria!

@Morgenmuffel – Glad to hear this is another pumpkin wine lover out there. No matter how much you buy, it never seems to be enough
@die Mama of 3 Tartlets – Thanks for participating and being the first ever contributor to Food Fridays. Let me know if you source out any pumpkin wine in Bavaria. I’ve only got one bottle left, which is not nearly enough.
I SO have to try this – sounds like a great Halloween drink!!

@Katherina – Definitely, the next time I host a Halloween party, I’m serving this.
I’ve never heard of this, but they have pumpkin everything, so why not? I’d try it.

@Scott – That’s true, I eve tried pumpkin potato (along with my pumpkin wine of course) at the Ludwigsburg Pumpkin Festival. Glad to hear you would try it.
@Claire – Hope you’re able to find some
.
@Annie – I checked their website and while they sell other kinds of wine, I couldn’t find the pumpkin wine for sale
, but there’s got to be other distributors.
Never would have thought to make a wine out of pumpkin. I would try it.

That’s surprising! I’ve never heard of it before but again, I’m not a wine person. I don’t even I even ever tasted the famous Canadian Ice Wine!
Zhu recently posted..Picture of the Week: Campaign Signs
@The Travel Chica – Seeing that you enjoy your wine, I’m not surprised that you would try it
@Zhu – I hadn’t heard of it either until I moved to Germany. I know that Canadian Ice Wine is supposed to be a specialty, but I personally find it way too sweet, I have heard that it’s good on icecream though, but have yet to try it.
I would definitely try pumpkin wine! The bottles look very enticing, too. I love all of the pumpkin options this time of year. There’s a Midwestern US chain that makes a pumpkin shake — awesome!

I like Wine and Pumpkin but don’t have time to for both. What can you do for me?

I’ve had pumpkin beer before, but never pumpkin wine – sounds good!

I’m another big pumpkin fan, so I’d give this a shot. Might be good with some pumpkin pie.

Great idea Laurel! I just did a post on eating dog meat in Vietnam — next week I will remember this for sure!

Sweet! I’ll catch the next Food Friday. I need to get my hands on a bottle of pumpkin sparkling wine so perfect for Fall.
Grace recently posted..Travel Photo Thrusday: Street Jazz at New Orleans
Mmmm sounds so good. I wonder if we can find it here in Calgary?
OfficeBum recently posted..Raw Food / Whole Food / mmmmm Food!
Here in Canada, I am surrounded by pumpkins and I have no knowledge of where to get a bottle of pumpkin wine, if indeed there is such a thing. I must check this out. This is your second post on pumpkins and, Laurel, you seem to be focussing on the pumpkin wine. Are you behaving yourself?

@Cathy – Oh a pumpkin shake sounds delicious as well, I haven’t tried that before.
@Caanan- Convince you to try a glass and change your mind?
@Ashley – I haven’t tried pumpkin beer before, but that sounds good too!
@Technosyncratic – I haven’t tried it with pumpkin pie, but it’s very good with pumpkin soup, pumpkin potatoes and pumpkin lasagna.
@Raymond – Great would love to have your participation. I wouldn’t eat dog either.
@Grace – Great, looking forward to seeing your entry on Friday. I agree, pumpkin wine is a perfect way to celebrate the Fall.
@OfficeBum – I found a distributor in the U.S. but haven’t looked in Calgary yet. Hope you can find one.
@Barry – Heck no, I’m having too much pumpkin wine to be behaving myself and my most recent post was on beer brewing monks, so not behaving myself on that front either.
okay, you had me at pumpkin. and then beer… amazing.

Pumpkin Sparkling Wine? Is there anything you can make wine out of?
I haven’t but I’ll try at least a sip of anything so I’m sure I will

I’d totally try it. Weird, but interesting. Never heard of it before. Sounds like something a Hobbit would drink!
Christina recently posted..The big Blog4NZ trip is under way
Um, this looks like my kind of wine! Especially since I recently discovered I’ve become allergic to red wine — I think I’m still good on pumpkin though
Edna recently posted..The 5 best things I ate in Azerbaijan
@Edna – Then it’s perfect for you. It’s one of my favorite kinds of wine EVER!
My husband and I went to the Ludwigsburg Pumpkin Festival this year as well! We brought home 3 bottles of that yummy stuff! It’s perfect for Thanksgiving dinners!
