Author Notes
As a true southerner from the state of Tennessee I thought I would revise a classic, Muscadine wine, is often made from the plump juicy fruit. In my recipe I thought it would add a little zing to the standard recipe by incorporating other fresh fruit and an underlined hint of Chambord to add to the depth of flavors and a subtle underlining of orange. —Adrian V.
