WINE #6

What else can you do with wine?.. cook with it, of course. Full bodied red wine can be put in gravy. Red wine can be added to extra virgin olive oil and fruit juice to make a delicious salad dressing. Enough of my culinary prowess.

What else can you do with wine?.. make special drinks, of course. Red wine can be mixed with a white soft drink like Sprite to make a wine high ball straight out of the 1950's...but very refreshing.

Try this. Buy some Sangria and mix it in a pitcher of ice with fruits like strawberries and pineapple to make a refreshing summer ade. Sangria is a fruity Spanish wine and can be served very cold or over ice, if you like.

You could take a pinot griggio and mix it with cranberry juice and serve it over ice, as well. Brandy and white wine mix well for more of a kick. Everyone knows you can mix champagne with orange juice and produce a morning pick-me-up called a mimosa.

Enough! Enough!
