Looks delicious. Interesting that you added lime juice to save work.
I am all about simplifying. I'd rather get to the party than be stuck muddling drinks forever!
Nice hikie ❤
🎉 Thanks.
My pleasure! Hope you try it out! - 🥂 Erin
Too much talking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the feedback! 🥂 Erin

CONTENT STARTS AT: 2:38! 🌟 Slowly pour Soda Water liberally over stain. Blot and repeat. Rinse in cold water. 🌟 Put stained clothing on bowl or over top of bowl (small stains). Cover stain in lots of salt, boil kettle, slowly drizzle boiling water over stain from outside to middle. Repeat of required. Rinse in cold water. 🌟 Mix 1ml detergent w/ 50ml peroxide (3-5%). Dab, blot (not rub) with cotton bud over stain. Add more, repeat. Old stains: takes 1-2hr. New stains: 5-20min. Rinse in cold water. 🌟 Note: using Vinegar and Bicarb may turn your stain red to blue! Be careful!
This is awesome thank you new vip sever for a cocktail lounge 😅
I'm so happy to be of help! Good luck with new job! 🥂 Erin
Oouuuu Girl! Bourgeoisie.
Haha! We fancy like that 😄🥂 Erin
Lovely presentation
Thank you! These are always big hits at parties! 🥂 Erin
Happy Holidays 🎉🎉🎉
You too! 🥂 Erin
YOU'RE GOALS <3
You are so kind!! Let me know if you make this PS syrup... it's super easy! 🥂 Erin
Just found your channel and I've already watched four or five of your videos fantastic work! I really needed this motivation too! Can I ask you how many days in advance can I make the mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving dinner and then just microwave them? Is that against the rules?
OMG, you are so sweet. Thank you for the kind words and I'm so happy to have you here! For mashed potatoes I personally prefer to make them while the resting. However, you can make them in advance. When it's time to reheat, put the mashed in a saucepan over med-low heat, with a splash more milk/cream and a dollop of butter. Cover and gently cook until they're back to being smooth and creamy. Other TDay items that hold up well to advanced prep: any baked goods that can be frozen (pies, cookies, rolls etc.), soups (freeze for a week or two or keep in the fridge for a few days), salads and veg sides (make the dressing a day before, and chop all the veg the day before), assemble casseroles and either freeze for a few weeks, or assemble the day before and store in the fridge overnight. I hope this helps! We'll have a lot more ideas for Christmas dinner coming up in the next few weeks so stay tuned! 🥂 Erin
@@TheWineSisters THANK YOU for The answer and the other ideas! Happy Thanksgiving!
@@ckmucci My absolute pleasure! Let me know how it turns out!
Sounds good 😊
It's sooooo good! I hope you try it! 🥂 Erin
Great tips thank you ❤❤❤
I'm glad you like them! I hope you can put them to good use! 🥂 Erin
Great video! Perfect for the upcoming holiday season
Thank you Carolyn! Let us know if you create one for your holiday parties! 🥂 Erin
I appreciated all this. I'm hosting for the first time this year and kind of anxious about getting everything done without being frantic.
Don't be!! You will rock it, with just a little planning! We swear by lists and never, ever deviating from the original plan (no matter how tempting 😅) You've still got a a little over a week, so check out our video on planning Christmas Dinner in 7 Days ... it's a fast-forward version of our three months plan! Good luck, Danea! Let us know how it goes! 🥂 Erin
Yum..looks amazing and elegantly easy..I may have missed it but how are the beans eaten? Like chips..on crackers?
Hi Carolyn, we just serve them like chips or nuts! Put a cocktail fork or spoon in the bowl and let guests eat them as they are! (But if you wanted to top a crostini with the beans, it's your party!) 🥂 Erin
I like Christmas

Isn’t the making of orange wine essentially how to produce rose wine
sort of! Orange wine is simply skin-contact white wine. Normally, white wines don't require any contact with the skins, because, well, they're white. Red and rosé wines get their colour from the skins soaking with the skins for a little or long time. When white grapes are left with their skins, there's a reaction that turns the clear juice turns orange. Hope that helps! 🥂 Erin
Lots to absorb but informative😊
It is A LOT, but hopefully it helps make food and wine planning easier! 🥂 Erin
Hi, here is Modena and i was looking for a cocktail to make with our Lambrusco. Grazie!!! Give us more.
Hi! I"m so happy you liked it! We post new videos every week... often with cocktail ideas, so stay tuned! 🥂 Erin
How much pumpkin puree????
Hi Sandy! Sorry about that... it's 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree. You can find the written recipe on our blog with all the measurements as well. www.thewinesisters.com/blog/category/recipes-and-food/fall/post/homemade-pumpkin-spice-syrup Let me know if you make this! Erin
Correct me if I’m wrong…. But isn’t that a wine glass 🍷 not a sparkling wine 🥂 glass?
Good eye, Ally! You're absolutely correct! A lot of sommeliers and restaurants now prefer to pour bubbly into wider bowl (ie: regular wine) glasses. The reason being is that it allows you to appreciate the aromas better than a narrow flute will allow. This video was taken right before a sparkling wine class that I teach at a College in Toronto and this is the glass we use for wine appreciation. However, for my home entertaining, I must admit I love the stylish look of a nice flute. Cheers! 🥂 Erin
Would love more ice awesome
Ice-cold pitcher drinks are definitely the way to do summer right! 👍 Cheers - Erin
Good job 👏🏽 my favorite drink enjoy your vacation 👍🏽
I'm so happy you approve! Can't beat a mojito to cool off in the hot weather! - 🥂 Erin
Lol. Im thru the intro and i just realizdd my wine stains dry... doe. But then... I dont know what those ingredients are. Is it bi carb and something with hot water? Lil ole aussie here. Please help.
baking soda
I think it’s bicarbonate of soda. UK here 😅
thanks; beautifully presented. I am not sure with me whether it is wine or blood stain. I always wear an apron while in kitchen and at table................baffled where stain came from on my warm jacket (save heating bills)
how you doing?! Wow!that is superb travel- later~ dear~🤘
Helpful video and delicious drink, thank you!
I'm so happy you liked it! Stay tuned - next week we have a super delicious watermelon-mint daquiri to share! - Erin
Made this everyone thought I knew how to make margaritas. Good, but strong. When my boss filled his glass up without ice, I thought he may end up on the floor. He was definitely in a good mood.
Haha! I'm glad everyone enjoyed. Ice is key - not only to keep the drink cold, but for dilution. But of course, you can always, adjust the ratios to best suit your tastes, and those of your boss (I hope you get a big bonus!) Happy holidays! - Erin
I need to know which mayo you are using! I have spent so much money on good quality organic brands, but there's always that weird aftertaste. I'm accustomed to the beautifully neutral, albeit unhealthy, Hellmann's.
In this particular video I'm actually using Hellmann's! Though don't tell anyone, but I've found really good luck with vegan mayo - taste, texture the whole bit. But if you love Hellmann's, then stick with it! There's no point in forcing yourself to use something you don't like. Life's too short :) Best of luck and let me know how it turns out! 🥂 Erin
Great and thoughtful idea
Thanks! And they're so easy!
thank you i am a list girl too havin 14 this year and all is in control have a great thanksgiving
I could not live without my lists! Enjoy your (well planned) holiday! - Erin

Haha! You're definitely not alone! For Christmas, I'll share a video on our 7-Day Plan to Hosting A Stress Free Dinner. Stay tuned and good luck! - Erin
Such great tips! I’m hosting this year!
I'm so delighted! And this list works for all the big celebratory dinners you host, from Mother's Day to New Year's Eve, so keep it handy! Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving! - Erin

This was a delicious adventure!
It most certainly was! Thanks for coming along!
What wine is best with turkey and dressing and a sweet glazed ham where sage is the prime flavouring of the turkey and dressing?
Hi Dianne - great question! I'm guessing by "dressing" you mean a bread-based stuffing (that's what we call it here, even if it's not actually "stuffed" in the turkey.) In this case, look to the strongest flavours, that's likely going to be the spices of sage that you mentioned, and maybe some celery and onion etc. Consider an earthy Pinot Noir from Oregon or California; it's bright red fruit will liven up the turkey (like cranberry sauce) and its spice flavour will compliment the dressing. As for the glazed ham, which has a deliciously sweet coating but salty meat, Riesling works really nicely here as you will need a wine slightly sweeter than the food, otherwise it could taste bitter. If you only want one wine for both the turkey and the ham, go with Riesling. Let me know how it goes! - Erin
@@TheWineSisters thank you very much!
Hi Erin, are you able to give us the name of the type of cheeses you used in this video. Going to pick up the Lambrusco, haven’t had that in such a long time.
Hi Vivian, I go through them all in the video explaining which is which. 🙂 Basically, they're a selection of Cheddars, Mimolette and Sauvagine. Happy shopping! - Erin
@@TheWineSisters thanks Erin,
Hi guys, please do not celebrate thanksgiving. because it is evil black magic holiday to mock slaughter and slavery of native americans. please youtube " Everything You Know About Thanksgiving is WRONG | Decoded | MTV News" or " Harsh truth about thanksgiving." or " Real history behind thanks giving". and if native americans have any relation to turks (people from turkey) then no wonder why millions of turkey being slaughtered on this day. it is so sad that they made us participate in such a mockery black magic, but we all can stop it.
We don't make appetizers on TG cause there will be lots of food.
It’s certainly disappointing when everyone fills up and ruins the dinner you spent so much time making. This is why we like these lighter snacks; so guests can have something to munch on with cocktails, but not get overly full. Happy Thanksgiving! 🥂 - Erin
