Wine and Hot Chocolate... Wine Not?

It's that time of the year again! We are a little over two weeks away from Christmas and the holiday spirit is kicking in full force. So when you get together with your family and friends why don't you make your hot chocolate a bit more interesting this year, especially for the wine lovers in the group.
wink wink  ;)

ww.Saveur.com came up with this recipe and it's under the article 
"Bitter Sweet Hot Chocolate with Red Wine" 

Ingredients/ recipe:
- 6oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped.
- 1/3 cup fruity red wine ( such as Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Beaujolais, or Merlot).
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 pinch kosher salt
Sugar for serving

Bring chocolate and wine to a simmer in a 1-qt. saucepan over low heat, cook, whisking, until melted (about 3 minutes). Add 2/3 cup water, milk, and salt; bring to a boil, and cook, while whisking for 3 more minutes. Pour it into 2 mugs or glasses. 

Fantastic! Hope you all like it as much as my guests enjoyed it!

I will post my next blog very soon. It will be on Proseccos for your Christmas celebration
Cheers!
