Beachhaven Muscadine Wine

July 3, 2013 by Alisha 2 Comments

Happy Wine Wednesday! Today I wanted to introduce you all to one of my other favorite wine types – Muscadine wine!

Muscadines are truly a Southern Treasure! Just one more benefit of Southern living, as they are only found here! A Muscadine is a grape. They are different from most grapes in that they do not grow in a bunch. They grow two to three together on the vine, are thick-skinned, pulpy, and have large seeds. Their flavor is phenomenal, and their aroma is heavenly. The Muscadine grape makes a most wonderfully delicious sweet wine: incomparable and delectable.

Between the heat and my oldest daughter being out of school for Summer break, I ~~think~~ know I deserve one…or two! Last week I share an awesome recipe to make your own Mango Mascoto Popsicles and this week I though it would be cool to share this awesome recipe I stumbled across.

What story will your Origami Owl Living Locket Tell?

Just this past January I left the stressful world of supervision and Social Work to become my own boss. I’ve been loving every minute of it and haven’t looked back. I’ve been an independent consultant with Origami Owl since then and this has afforded me the opportunity to work from home and continue blogging about all the randomness that is my life.
