INSIDE THE WENTE FAMILY ESTATES GRAPEVINE
MAKING MEMORIES
Holiday traditions flourish at Wente Family Estates
T
he holidays will soon be upon us and there's plenty to
look forward to here at Wente Family Estates for those
seeking to savor all the season has to offer – and you can
read all about it in this edition of the Grapevine.
One of the highlights of the season is the annual Holidays in
the Vineyards celebration, featuring a veritable winter wonder-
land of activities, festive decorations and holiday music
that is slated for the first weekend in December.
We're also gearing up for our traditional Chef's
Holiday Dinner and Gingerbread Family Workshop,
both also taking place in early December.
If you enjoy spending time at home with family
and friends but not so much in the kitchen, there's our
Thanksgiving Take Home Dinner and Holiday Take
Home Meal featuring gourmet fare prepared by our team of
culinary experts in The Restaurant at Wente Vineyards.
Family and tradition are such an important part of the holi-
days at Wente Family Estates – after all, we've been family-
owned and operated for more than 130 years.
And when it comes time to raise our glasses in mirth and
merriment during the months ahead, we'll be wishing everyone
a healthy and happy holiday season from our family to yours.

MULLED RED WINE RECIPE
A HOLIDAY CLASSIC
T
here's a scene in the film "It's a Wonderful
Life" where George Bailey's guardian
angel, Clarence, orders a "glass of mulled
wine, heavy on the cinnamon and light on
the cloves." It's a classic moment in a treas-
ured holiday classic. With that, we'd like
to share a version of this classic holiday
beverage from our friends at America's Test
Kitchen – a not-too-sweet Mulled Red Wine
recipe ideal for holiday parties and intimate
gatherings. CLICK HERE for all the details.
