What to Drink on a Cold Day

How about some delicious mulled wine.
The trick here is not to use some cheap gut rot but to spend a bit on a robust, spicy wine - I like the an Australian Shiraz or a Zinfandel.
On the spice front you can either buy ready made sachets or you can follow the following recipe from Whole Foods - personally I leave out the black pepper - otherwise it's perfect! - Mulled Wine Recipe

Alsace Cooking Demo - Monday 2nd March

Join us for a fun, casual Monday evening at Jarnac. At the beginning of the evening Maryann will demonstrate how to put together a great choucroute and prepare the famous Tarte Flambee.

We're thinking of making this part of the evening a little like a drinks reception, so there'll be mingling, a little bit of hands on and lots of chat. We'll then sit down and eat the very food that's being demo-ed!

Obviously there'll be some fun wine pairings as well and Tony'll be there to answer questions on Alsatian wines.

We'll be charging $65 for the evening (plus tax & tip) to cover costs, but hurry, reservations are essential and numbers are limited.

Call 212 924 3413 for reservations or visit our website for further information http://www.jarnacny.com/
