There's a new cocktail craze, and the drinks on the menu aren't what you would expect.
This fall, wine cocktails are posed to be the next big thing. The Cosmopolitan, made famous on Sex and the City, has left libatious ladies (and gents) looking for cocktails with depth and a fruit forward taste profile.
Wine adds a unique complexity to a cocktail, creating flavors that one wouldn't think of as stemming (no pun intended) from wine.
Folonari Pink Pinot Grigio has captured this trend and created some fabulous fall cocktails.
