Hello, friends.
So, it’s less than
five days away until Christmas. With all the hustle and bustle the season
brings, it’s nice to take a few moments to slow down, kick back, and have a
freaking glass of wine! Being that I just turned twenty-one this year, this
will be my first Christmas where I can be the bringer of wine to the Christmas
dinner. A few years back, my cousin brought one of her foreign exchange student
friends who was from somewhere in east Europe
(truthfully, I can’t remember for sure)
over for the feast. In the midst of open gifts and taking extra slices of pie,
my cousin’s friend made the entire family her families recipe for mulled wine. I
was speechless. One word: AMAZING. It was indescribably fruity, and herbal, and
aromatic from all the mulled spices intermingling with the wine. It was a
marriage of pure flavor bliss. Ever since then I wanted to make my own recipe
for mulled wine. Thankfully, the good people over at Powell & Mahoney were all for some mulled wine and hooked a guy
up with a killer mixer that aided in me making an easy and incredibly tasty batch
of slow cooker mulled wine.
