My winey bridge group took a 2 day trip to KC last week, I could not go cause I was in Ca. Anyway one thing they did, was attend a cooking class. As well as playing bridge and drinking wine, most are avid cooks. Anyway here was the recipe they enjoyed: It is more summer but could be adjusted for fall:

Peach Sangria

2 750 cc bottles of peach Chardonnay
1 cup oj
1 cup peach schnapps
2 TBSP genadine syrup
1/4 Cup simple syrup
juice from 1 lemon
1 16 oz pkg of frozen unsweetened sliced peaches (defrosted)

Place the first 4 ingredients in a large container.
Place simple syrup, and peaches in a blender and puree.
Add puree to wine mixture and mix well. Chill at least 2 hours
Serve over crushed ice in wine glasses (balloon ones if you have then) Thread wedges of lime, lemon and orange onto woodern skeweres and place one across top of each glass. Makes about 8 to 10 cups.
