Turning Leaf Refresh

I recently received the most delightful package in the mail: a Wine Over Ice Kit from Turning Leaf Refresh! Inside the kit was two bottle of delicious Turning Leaf Refresh wine (Red Moscato and Crisp White), two plastic wine glasses, a buffalo check picnic blanket, a wine carrier and some reusuable plastic ice cubes… now doesn’t that sound like fun?

I was eager to try these wines. I enjoy drinking wine and was intrigued that Turning Leaf recommends that these wines be chilled and served over ice with a slice of orange or lime. Interesting, yes? It piqued my interest!

Refresh Turning Leaf

There are four light and refreshing wine options: Crisp White, Red Moscato, Moscato and Pink Moscato all available at a great price– $8.

If you’re like me and love drinking a refreshment with fizz (but less filling than a wine or cocktail), Refresh is a great option.

I sampled both of the wines that I received. The Crisp White tasted light and fizzy and sweet. I can imagine enjoying a glass with my girlfriends at brunch. The Red Moscato is also fizzy and has a nice fruity flavor. I will be buying more bottles of each!

I wanted to come up with some ideas on serving these wines during a summer daytime occasion. I soon found that I was SO inspired, I came up with two ideas!

First Idea: Wine and Cheese Picnic

Turning Leaf Refresh

The first idea is to enjoy a wine and cheese picnic with items that work well with both the Red Moscato and Crisp White.

Turning Leaf Refresh

First step– add ice to the glasses, then pour the wine! I tried to choose cheese and crackers and other goodies that complement both wines.

You can’t go wrong with lightly salted almonds and dried cherries. The almonds are a nice balance to the fruit undertones of the wines and the the cherries enhance it.

Add some herbed goat cheese, a chunk of Brie and some hard cheddar… you have a lovely wine and cheese picnic.

Second Idea: Fruit Infused Ice Cubes

Turning Leaf Refresh

Since it is encouraged to serve the Refresh Turning Leaf wines over ice and with a slice or orange or lime, I decided to take it a step further and create Fruit Infused Ice Cubes to accompany the wine.

Turning Leaf Refresh

Supplies: An ice tray, sparkling water, a juicer, grater and a lemon and lime.

Turning Leaf Refresh

Juice the orange then grate the rind. Combine 1 cup of sparkling water with 1 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice. Carefully pour into the ice tray and sprinkle a little grated orange peel on top. Repeat with the lime.

Freeze…

Aren’t they pretty?

    That looks right up my alley! Yummy. I love lighter wine that it is okay to bend the rules a bit on. We make homemade wine we called Citrus Splashes they are basically an alcoholic fruity lemonade. They are so amazingly fun because we can freeze them, add ice, add sprite, add whatever we want and just enjoy.

    You have sparked my interest ~ we’ll be going to a Birthday party tomorrow ~ I hope I can find this locally. I would love to give a bottle (or 2) to the hosts.

    Have a wonderful weekend!

    I love the idea of wine that you serve over fruit – it’s like quick and easy sangria! And your fruit infused ice cubes are genius! I need to make up some to keep on hand – just for adding to my water. Thanks!
