Wine Jello

Wine gelee is the fancy name!

Growing up with a giant German family in San Francisco, wine jello was always around for the holidays.  I actually can’t have pumpkin pie without it.  We serve a slice of pie, with a scoop of wine jello next to it, both covered in freshly whipped cream… and yes, even the children ate it too.  As a kid, the trick was to get equal parts wine jello and whipped cream on your spoon.  As an adult, I find it a refreshingly clean way to enjoy a decadant dessert.  If you appreciate Sauv Blanc, then at least give it a try!
