Mulled Wine Recipe ...

I have posted this a couple times, but it never gets old and especially now that we are serving it in tasting room.

Warming you from the inside out...Enjoy!
 
Warm Spiced Wine Ingredients:
2 cups water
2-3 cinnamon sticks
8-10 whole allspice
8-10 whole cloves
1/2 cup sugar
zest of 1/2 an orange, plus orange slices for garnish
1 bottle of Corcoran Cabernet Franc or USB
 
Directions: Combine water, spices, sugar & orange zest in a 2 quart saucepan. Stir & cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Simmer over low heat for one hour. Strain out spices & return to pan while adding one bottle of Corcoran red wine, I prefer the Cabernet Franc or USB.
 
Cheers!

Fall Wine!


Does your palette change with the seasons?  I will go on record as always saying, "I am a couch-potato white wine drinker and a red wine social drinker".  But with these past few chilly days, I may be rethinking that.
Most of the time we change our meals from salads in the summer to stews in the winter which means we will change our wine selection from a white to a red naturally.  But how does a couch-potato wine drinker change??  I believe I will be doing some further studying as the temperatures continue to drop...
Cheers!!
