Traditional Glogg image

This cold-weather winner is nothing more than red wine infused with spices, but the right flavor combinations can produce spectacular results. Here, a big-bodied red Zinfandel takes on a heady whiff of cardamom and the fresh, wintry aroma of juniper berries and three kinds of citrus fruit in this traditional Glogg recipe.
