Red Wine Grape Tart
Author Notes

I've had a problem for as long as I can remember; I just can't leave recipes well enough alone. I received a free cookbook and in it was a grape tart that sounded good, but I figured I could make it just a touch better. I adore red wine, and with so few fruits to choose from during late winter, this tart is absolutely perfect. You won't be able to stop yourself; or at least I couldn't! —spcookiequeen
