Autumn Tastes

Twas the day before vacation. We all know how those days go. Motivation was lacking. Poured myself a small glass of this Ohio made Sangria with a bowl full of kettle corn ... perfection. Motivation was still lacking... but my little afternoon snack was wonderful. The flavors got me feeling like fall.
