Reviews
I saw Sandra Lee on the TODAY show preparing this drink, and it has become our signature drink during the winter holiday’s; snow storms; and our just because drink. Everyone Loves It.
I’ve made this a few times and love it and always get rave reviews. One the key aspects of the final taste of this is the type of wine you use. One time I tried to save a few bucks and got a cheaper rioja and it obviously didn’t taste as good. As I usually make this in the fall, I usually add some apples as well.
