We raise a glass to NATIONAL RED WINE DAY. Pour some of your favorite red vino and enjoy a glass or two. You have your sweets, semi-sweets, dry and sparkling. Your dry reds are the healthiest wines with the lowest sugar content and the highest amounts of antioxidants. The lower the sugar the higher the alcohol content – so it’s like getting more bang for your buck – don’t drink and drive – EVER!
On Today’s Menu…
Our dessert of the day is delicious and portable. CHERRY TURNOVER DAY celebrates this sweet pastry that you can eat on the go. You can pick them up at your store, your bakery or even some of the fast-food places.
