March 8th is International Women’s Day! Gathering first in 1911 to campaign for women’s equality, today, the global celebration recognizes women’s cultural, social, economic & political achievements. Not just for the holidays, we’re celebrating with a warm & cozy mulled winter wine. Makes 4 servings
