Today was National Wine Day and it also happened to be National Iced Coffee Day. I kept thinking all day, could I? Should I?
Some said it couldn't be done, combining wine with coffee. At least not if you want to end up with a good cocktail.
You just can't say things like that to me, I take it as a challenge.
