I enjoy an occasional mug of mulled wine, but not always interested in making a vat of it. This Harvest Spiced Wine is a recipe for one. If you want to make more for a roomful of people, just multiply each ingredient by the number of servings you’d like to make and heat it on the stove or make it in a crock pot.
Harvest Spiced Wine has fantastic spiced cherry flavor! Spiced cherry complements the dark cherry and raspberry flavors in the Barefoot Pinot Noir. The flavors weave a beautiful warming spice flavor that’s perfect for this time of year. Put some logs on the fire and wrap your fingers around a steaming hot mug of holiday cheer.
