Let's Talk Warm Spiced Wine!

If you live on the East coast, (like I do) you have been spending an inordinate amount of time being cold lately. You may be working from home to stay out of these blisteringly chilly temps. Or you may just be coming home from the office knowing you will not be going back out there if you can help it. We love wine. And on a cold night after a long day a crazy commute nothing is more comforting than a nice glass of red wine to wash the day away. But what about those days when you want a little something different? Something warm perhaps? Enter the star of the hour, Mulled Wine! Mulled Wine is a wine lover’s answer to the Hot Toddy. It has been served all over the world for centuries and is the perfect snuggled up next to a fire or just enjoying your favorite sitcom at home. We have tested and tried many a mulled wine recipe and have perfect the one below. Try this this weekend while you watch the snow fall or let it simmer and enjoy after the kids come in from making snowmen.
