We all know I love wine. Like love (I’m actually in Sonoma right now making wine with La Crema). And when the cooler temps begin to arrive I, like most, switch from a crisp white to a warm red. And other than drinking a bold Cab by a big fire another way I love enjoying reds is with my classic mulled wine recipe. Red wine combines with aromatics of cinnamon, star anis, and orange to create the most perfect warm and cozy drink of the season. Cheers! truly, MKR

- 4 cups apple cider
- 1 (750-ml) bottle red wine, such as La Crema Pinot Noir
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 orange, zested and juiced
- 4 whole cloves
- 3 star anise
- 4 oranges, peeled, for garnish
- Combine the cider, wine, cinnamon sticks, zest, juice, cloves and star anise in a large saucepan, bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
- Pour into mugs, add an orange and orange peel to each and serve.
- *You can make this in a crock pot and keep on warm all day
These photos are so beautiful! I love the composition. They feel so much like Fall (despite the steamy temps outside) and make me wish I had some mulled wine!
