On our trip to New Brunswick we stopped at a winery just outside of Johnstown Ontario and purchased a bottle of Caramel Mead (honey wine). It is a dessert wine and I thought it would be best shared with friends. Tonight I have invited two couples to enjoy a five course meal with us. We started with a glass of wine served with pate and warmed brie with apricot jam.

Next up was spinach polenta cakes which was followed by Vegetable Carpaccio. Lemon sorbet was served next as a pallet cleanser before the main course. Roasted vegetables and a pork loin roast stuffed with an apple-cranberry stuffing served with a cranberry gravy was the main course. The caramel mead was served with an apple tart for dessert.

During dinner Mother Nature decided to show us that winter was indeed on it's way.

I think I might be persuaded to like winter a little more if it continued to stay on the ground but melt on the road as it did tonight.
