]]> Some cooks swear by using certain alcohol in their recipes. A classic choice is red wine, as it can add a unique richness and depth to some savory dishes. But it doesn’t always have a place in meals. If you’re unsure of which kinds of meals to include it in, then here are three examples of good times to use it to get you started. 

Beef Stew

If you’re planning a slow-cooked hearty beef stew, then adding red wine to the recipe is almost essential. When added to the liquid of the stew early on, then the beef and the vegetables you use end up soaking up all the rich, tart, and smooth flavors that are released during the cooking. 

Nut Roast

This is another example where opting to slow-cook at a low temperature allows the ingredients and flavors you use to slowly soak into each other. Adding a dash of red wine before you bake this dish means the nuts and vegetables become super tender and tasty.

Homemade Gravy

If you’re going to the effort to make gravy from scratch for a hearty winter meal, then adding red wine helps the flavors blend much better and means all the food on your plate can be covered in the delicious mixture of ingredients.

]]> The month of October is finally upon us, which means it’s time to turn the calendar to a whole new month of food and drink celebrations!

Those of us who like to celebrate these holidays will find a wide variety of holidays related to some of the world’s favorite drinks in the upcoming month. Here are the three top ones that you must add to your calendar!

National Frappe Day: October 7th

National Frappe Day is celebrated annually on October 7th, which gives us all the perfect excuse to enjoy this coffee favorite. Ice, coffee, and sugar are combined to make a delicious drink that can have all kinds of flavor additions included.

National Red Wine Day: October 15th

Red wine is a favorite when the temperatures drop, which means that celebrating this holiday in the middle of autumn is the perfect excuse to pour yourself a glass of red wine. Some of my favorites for the fall season include Tempranillo and Cabernet Franc.

National Liqueur Day: October 16th

Whether you want to prepare a mixed drink or enjoy your favorite liqueur on ice, Friday, October 16th is a day that you must mark on your calendar! Liqueur—a category that includes liquor-based drinks with other flavors added—is a staple of Mixology and gets its own day to celebrate on the sixteenth.
