THE VINES H E L T O N V I N E Y A R D S B L O G

Some of you may be switching up things

this year like finally having breakfast in

bed, attempting to cook a home style

brunch, taking a refreshing sunrise walk

through the park, or some of you may be

saying, “Nope. None of the above. I am

definitely sleeping until lunch.” However

you decide to spend your Easter

weekend, we would love to help support

and encourage you through these

changes. Here’s how:

Sunrise Sunday,Sunset Sangria By Rachael Roseman

We know many of you are being

thrown off of your normal routine

with the rapid changes in our

society due to COVID-19. For many,

that means a big change in normal

Easter traditions such as church

services, Easter egg hunts, big family

gatherings for an Easter cookout,

picnic, potluck, or any other

traditions you may be accustomed

to.

Step 2.

Follow the recipes below.

Our Salem Fork Blackberry Wine Cake

recipe is sure to bring sweetness to any

gathering. Maybe you’re making it for

your quarantined family who’s this close

to making you pull your hair out,

(remember, you love them anyway).

Maybe it’s for your elderly neighbor who

needs a little reassurance during this

time. Maybe the whole cake is only for

you! Whoever it’s for, this yummy cake is

a great way to share a bit of kindness to

this special weekend during a trying

time.

It’s a simple recipe with easy instructions.

If you don’t have these items at home,

call your local grocery store or go online

to place a curbside pick-up order of the

ingredients you need, (remember…social-

distancing. Curbside pick-up is the way

to go!). Visit our website to place an order

of the Salem Fork Blackberry wine and it

will be shipped right to your door! Easy-

peasy so far, right?

Step 1. Rememberto continuesmiling, laughing,and perseveringduring this time.

Once you have the ingredients you need, follow

the directions below.

Ingredients:

• 18 ounces white cake mix (1 box)

• 3 ounces Black Cherry Jello (or Blackberry Jello)

• 4 eggs

• 1 cup vegetable oil

• 1 cup Salem Fork Blackberry Wine

• 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted

• ¼ cup wine to thin glaze- does not take much

Directions: Spray Bundt pan with cooking spray.

Mix cake and Jello in bowl. Add eggs, oil and

wine to mixture. Beat at low, medium speed (as

directed on cake box mix). Bake at 350 degrees

for 50-60 minutes. Mix powdered sugar and

enough wine to thin to spreading consistency.

Drizzle over cake.

Finally, we want to share with you our recipe for a delicious, front-porch-sipping,

sunset-watching beverage to help wind down your evening. Our Sunset Sangria is a

perfect way to end your day out on the front porch or cozy in your living room.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 2 bottles of Shelton Vineyards Salem Fork Sunset Sangria

• 1, 12 oz. can of Sprite

• Sliced fruits of your choice (oranges, tangerines, apples, cherries, etc.)

• Serve over ice

Mix all the ingredients and voile! You’ll have a sweet end to a wonderful day.

We hope these recipes are a huge success on your

Easter weekend! Until next time.

Cheers,

Shelton Vineyards Team
