Hickory Farms Warmest Wishes Gift Box, a Big Letdown

My aunt and uncle get my mom and I a Hickory Farms box every year, and both of us hate it! Most of the stuff in it is not good at all, but we don't know how to tell them that we don't want them.

Serious Heat: Combining Chile and Chocolate

I've made Alton Brown's Hot Cocoa which has cayenne in it. The first I put a bit too much in and it was too spicy to really enjoy. I cut it back since then and it's quite awesome!

Homemade Holiday Egg Nog

I've made Alton Brown's Eggnog (the uncooked version, he does have a cooked version too) for the past 3 years and it's excellent.

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/eggnog-recipe2/index.html

If you've never seen the episode, it's basically a drinkable custard.

The recipe does call for bourbon. It definitely is good with it mixed in, but I usually leave it out so people can have it unspiked or add their own to taste.

Serious Grape: The Next Big Wine Region Is in Your Backyard

I live in Rochester, NY, just north of the Finger Lakes and an hour east of the Niagara-on-the-Lake region. I've been to a lot of wineries in the area, and of course there are a lot of great rieslings here, not just sweet, but good dry ones too. There's some good late harvest and ice wines from the Finger Lakes, but the really great (and expensive) ones are from Niagara-on-the-Lake.

I've also been to several in the central Virginia region (my sister lives in the Shenandoah valley). Obviously there's better red wines there, but Horton Vineyards has a ton of great fruit wines and is one of four wineries in the US that makes rkatsiteli wine.

Some wineries in NY have some wines from other states and countries, but of course not as much as your could find in the state or country itself, due to shipping costs and how much is produced. So definitely by local to support your backyard wineries!
