Gee, I enjoy it and look forward to snaps of weather cool enough to make it here in Florida.
I have to shake my heads though…they’re worried about a wine stand in Köln (still one of my favorite cities)…meanwhile here in Florida there are entire streets full of bars full of maskless revelers.
I don’t know… I thought mulled wine was pretty nice… You wouldn’t want to use up the best wine making it, that’s for sure, but … Maybe what I had once was very special? I didn’t get that impression.
Mulled wine is fortunately very easy to make at home. And while this wouldn’t really fly with traditionalists, I once had hot mulled Manischevitz and it was really good–the heat and the spices cuts through the sweetness.
It’s not meant to be made with good stuff…I heard a persistent rumour in France that whatever Beaujolais Nouveau was untouched in November was made into bin chaud die the marchés de Nöel in December.
I have lots of happy memories of wandering the marchés with a warm cup of fragrant vin chaud.
