Sally was selling wine at the local farmer’s market as a side hustle and asked me if I knew of anyone who might be interested in a taste party. Of course I do. I’m Korean, granted I don’t drink as much as I used to, but I do have friends who like to drink.

She brought the wine bottles and I supplied the rest. I have a bar cart full of mixers, bitters, and other alcohol to mix the vino with. I actually have more liquor but I ran out of space on my bar cart and had to store them in another area.

I apologize with how chaotic my kitchen looks. Also, my microwave was on the fritz and I had to get a cheapie one from Walmart till I could a new one that fit the dimensions of the built in.

I didn’t have enough proper glassware so we had to make due with what I had. This is a pic of the glasses of vino before the different ingredients were added.

I also had fried chicken, garlic noodles, and french fries catered. We had Girl Scout cookies to munch on and a small charcuterie board full of cheeses, nuts, and cured meats available too. Needless to say, the event was a hit. Sally sold several bottles of wine and people wanted the recipe for the drinks.

I shared the recipe with the guests and figured I’d share it on my blog as well, for those who are interested (you don’t have to have the exact wine that I used):

1. Golden Orchard (white wine spritz)
   3 oz Chardonnay
   2 oz Bael fruit tea
   1 oz Del Maguey Chichicapa
   .5 oz Giffard apricot liqueur
   .5 oz Aperol
2. Rosé Sunset Sparkler
   4 oz Sparkling Rosé
   1 oz Aperol
3. Cherry Sangiovese
   4 oz Sangiovese
   .5 oz Orange and cognac liqueur
   .5 oz Cherry Heering
   3 dashes Angostura bitters
4. Midnight Cabernet
   4 oz Cabernet
   1 oz Antica Sweet Vermouth
   .25 oz Cherry Heering
   3 dashes Angostura bitters

Maybe one day, I’ll become a master sommelier…
