Homemade Bianco with Icy Grapes

Scott Phillips

Servings:six to eight.

This homemade bianco practically makes itself: Rosemary, mint, and lemon zest steep in a couple of bottles of Sauvignon Blanc. Six hours later, the wine is transformed into a fragrant herbal apéritif.

Ingredients

  • About 1 lb. grapes, preferably a large, seedless variety such as Red Globe, plucked from the stems
  • 2 3-inch sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 3-inch sprigs fresh mint
  • 2 bottles (750ml each) Sauvignon Blanc
  • 2 3-inch strips lemon zest (pared with a vegetable peeler)

Preparation

  • To serve, set out glasses, put 3 to 5 frozen grapes (depending on size) in each glass, and pour in the chilled bianco.

    This was a huge hit at my book club retreat. I steeped the wine overnight & it was perfect. I will definitly make this again.
