Every country has it's version of this holiday recipe - from the German Gluhwein to the Italian Vin Brul?.
Here is a great and tasty of how the Swedes have incorporated the enticing flavors of tropical spices. In gl?gg the liquids are steeped with various spices. What better way to keep spirits high when the sun disappears for months? A Christmas gathering with no gl?gg is unthinkable in Sweden, akin to a Superbowl party with no beer.

- 2 whole cloves
- 1 1-inch piece of cinnamon stick
- 1 teaspoon dried orange peel

Arbios Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Willam Arbios is a perfectionist. His vineyard is the highest in Sonoma county: a place where grass becomes stunted and oak trees take on a grayish palor. As he says: "Thin soil and scan water threaten the life of my grapes each year. These grapes give my wine the balance of character, finesse, and structure that's born from their constant struggle to live. I can never make much wine from here, but I can make the kind of wine that I have always dreamed of producing." Cherry, red-currant fruit with warmth of new French oak barrels. This Cabernet Sauvignon from California is a perfect gift to buy online! If you are a dry red wine lover, it is the right choice for you! ARB01 ARB01

Day 1, Thursday: We began our trip to Manchester, Tn, aka Bonnaroo, at 7:30 in the morning (we being Chris and I. Technically his trip started at 9 am the day before, but he’s cool like that.) We had a 4 hour drive and another 4 and half hour wait to enter Bonnaroo’s gates. The highway was backed up from exit 111 to exit 127….that would be 26 miles of cars, so they closed off the highway exits and made us take the back roads through Manchester into the ‘Roo.

“Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

This brimstone could refer to sulfur which will itself burn, with
Napa Valley Vintners Respond

Never let it be said that Napa Valley Vintners association is not staffed with smart, well intentioned highly competent folks. The comment below by NVV Terry Hall demonstrates this fact. Hall offered this comment in a previous post on this blog concerning the controversy surrounding the pending application for a "Calistoga" American Viticultural Area (AVA) and the impact this new appellation might have on Calistoga Cellars, a winery that, if NVV gets its way, would be forced to either change it
