The Queen took a flagon of sweet plum wine from a passing servant girl and filled Sansa’s cup. “Drink,” she commanded coldly. “Perhaps it will give you courage to deal with truth for a change.” (II: 621)
Sweet Plum Wine
Our thoughts:
Your first sip of this wine will make you feel like you’ve been punched in the face by a plum, in a good way. The first sensation is of biting through the skin of a plum, a little coarse, then a burst of flavor. There then follows a quick whirl of tart-sweet-tart, followed by a lingering taste of pure dark plum. It feels as though it should be a heavy wine, but is surprisingly light, and would be perfect for summer picnics.
For our plum wine, we selected a local variety from Nashoba Vineyards. Highly recommended!
Being a home wine maker, I must agree…..Plum wine is great.
Wow. I dont know where you got this idea and all, but this blog is so amazing! I am completely fascinated at where you’ve taken my favorite fantasy series and itching to try out some of these recipes! :)
Just wow. <3
I would also suggest umeshu. It’s a Japanese variant of plum wine. Veeeeeery good.
Just purchased your book through one of my book clubs, Science Fiction. Got the blog address through them. This is so wonderful and very, very, clever. I would love to be there on the campout you are going to. Of course I am a big fan of the books and HBO series and now a big fan of yours. I will add this to my Favs. You girls GO…Love everything about what you have done!!!
Welcome to The Inn, Cynthia!
Blame my sister for getting me hooked on your cookbooks! :) She first sent me The Game of Thrones book, my first recipe made was Quails Drowned in Butter (substituting Cornish Hens for quails). Then she sent me the World of Warcraft book. Fel Eggs and Ham are a holiday staple on my table, as well as Kungalosh. I’m eyeing the rest of your lovely collections for my birthday and Christmas gifts this year :D
Here’s my Thanksgiving menu for this year-
Drowned Quails in Butter
Sansa Salad
White Beans and Bacon
Stuffed Green Peppers
Honeycakes
Oatbread
Plum Wine
Oooh, I love it! Folks doing nerdy recipes for holidays is one of my favorite parts of the year!! Hope your feast is a great one and that everything is delicious!
