Road Trip Alert! Wolf Mountain Vineyard's Brunch is a Fall Must

Fall is officially here!  I am definitely looking forward to a weekend when I can zip out of the city and head up to the gorgeous North Georgia mountains to absorb gorgeous fall colors, big blue-sky views and a few glasses of wonderful wine during October's 8^th Annual End of the Harvest Celebration and Bluegrass Brunch at Wolf Mountain Vineyards & Winery. 

Good thing there are five Sundays in October this year to choose from!  Make one (or five) a revitalizing day of rest for a short Appalachian hike or a stroll through nearby historic Dahlonega, beginning or concluding your adventure at Wolf Mountain where live bluegrass music and a bountiful fall harvest buffet await.  Try several of Wolf Mountain's award-winning wines by the glass!  $30 per person (not including tax or gratuity).  Reserve your spot at the 12:30 p.m. or 2:30 p.m. buffet seating by calling 706-867-9862.

Our time together was short, but delicious!

With autumn weather upon us, that means cooler weather and shorter days. Daylight isn't the only thing that's fleeting, because the availability of the Aqua blue's Chop Month menu is running out too. Don't fret though because you still have through Monday October 11, to choose from all the items on the Aqua blue Chop menu. With entrées like the bone-in spicy Guinness-marinated chicken with pan-roasted herb broth ($19); Caribbean-spiced pork chop with Maker's Mark glaze, black currants and pineapple ($21); and Australian lamb chop with a pistachio and horseradish crust, Madeira demi and mint ($30), it'll be hard for me to be disappointed.

So start up that car, truck, SUV, scooter, motorcycle or ride a horse if you have to, and hurry on up to Aqua blue before this menu disappears.
