We belong to a great winery in the Sierra Nevada Foothills of Northern California and receive recipes with all of our shipments. This is ne I received from them a number of years ago and have just recently rediscovered it. I have made some slight modifications to suit my taste. If you are looking for a great winery to visit and love red wine, please check out Jeff Runquist Wines, I promise you won't be disappointed.

I am not affiliated with the winery in any way and do not receive compensation for recommending them. I have just been a proud wine club member for over 10 years.
