Directions: Chop and mix all ingredients.<br />
Chef’s tip: To avoid tearing up when<br />
chopping onions, start by sticking them in<br />
the fridge overnight.<br />
To serve: Use as a condiment with pork<br />
tenderloin or, for easy hors d’oeuvres, top<br />
a favorite cracker with soft, goat cheese<br />
and chutney.<br />
Balaban’s suggests: Buy larger bottles of wine for the holiday, either magnums<br />
[equivalent to two bottles] or double magnums [equivalent to four bottles]. Larger bottles<br />
prove more festive, immediately signal a special occasion, and prompt conversation<br />
as guests sample and compare their first tastes and impressions of the wine. Plus, larger<br />
bottles last longer in storage if left over. Pay attention to details, such as creating an<br />
attractive table, the colors of the foods and their position on the plate. Add a surprise or<br />
two to the meal – such as unusual wine party favors – one for each guest. Plan dishes<br />
that you can prepare ahead to stand alone or complement those of a caterer.<br />

Mulling spice: The preferred mulling<br />
spice mix consists of cinnamon<br />
sticks, nutmeg, allspice and orange<br />
peel. Some stores will have pre-made<br />
packs or you can gather the ingredients<br />
into a cheesecloth sachet or put them<br />
into a tea bag before adding them to the<br />
wine mixture.<br />
Directions: Simmer wine with brown<br />
sugar, apple juice and mulling spice<br />
packet; pull spice packet after about<br />
10-12 minutes. Voila – Apple pie in a glass!<br />
Augusta Winery suggests: Never be without wine during holiday season! It’s the<br />
quickest and easiest way to keep any surprise guests happy.<br />
