I expect our street won&#8217;t see a plow until tomorrow if then. With ten more inches of snow to fall we probably won&#8217;t shovel the 300 foot driveway until tomorrow at the earliest. So the time affords an opportunity to cook with wine. The very first thing I made was mulled wine. Of course the <a href=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/recipes\/beverages17.php\" target=\"_blank\">recipe<\/a> call for some ingredients that I don&#8217;t have. Trying to walk to a grocery store, one mile away, in about two feet of snow encourages creativity and substitution. I used a Cabernet Sauvignon that I made from a wine kit, my first attempt at winemaking. The sugar in the mulled wine covers up the taste I don&#8217;t like in the wine, geraniums. I&#8217;ve had this mulled wine before when my son made it. It is delicious. Give it a try and don&#8217;t worry about substitutions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/snow7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"449\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1920\" title=\"snow7\" src=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/snow7.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/snow7.jpg 500w, http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/snow7-300x269.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"owbutton\" src=\"http:\/\/www.onlywire.com\/button\" title=\"Hunker Down with Wine and Food\" url=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/?p=1919\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have been told to hunker down and wait.
