Mulled Wine

Mulled Wine, or Vin Chaud as it’s called in my neck of the woods, is one of my all time favorite warm beverages and my absolute go to on those cold winter nights when I need an extra kick. This classic cozy beverage is deceptively simple to make, and bound to impress any dinner party, holiday get together, or romantic night in by a fire!

Mulled Wine

With it's well balanced flavors of spice and sweet, Mulled Wine is a delicious drink to enjoy on it's on, though my favorite way to pair it is with a rich chocolate cake!
