Pick-me-up or wind-down? Decisions, decisions. I often reach a point in the workday where I don’t know whether I need another cup of coffee or a heaping glass of wine.
Would I work better with a jolt or get more done if I was thinking with a relaxed mind? I run into this problem often, but it seems that the universe is about to make my life a whole lot easier.
Wine-infused coffee is now a thing and I am ready and willing to give it a try.
Coming from two Napa Valley companies, there will now be a fix for that awkward time in the late afternoon when you have a wine key in one hand and a hand grinder in the other.
Molinari Private Reserve winemakers and Wild Card coffee roasters are teaming up for the greater good of humanity. Creating a whole new kind of drink, these two companies are collaborating to bring both regular and decaf to the world.

They’ve actually been hard at work for over two years trying to get the taste just right. Now, they have a full bodied coffee with blueberry notes and it’s full of antioxidants.
Since red wine has more antioxidants than white, the companies thought that it would pair better with coffee. They even developed a special house red that they sell in the winery and hope to sell in bars and cafes in the future.
While traveling over to Napa Valley to give it a try would be ideal, not everyone has time to make the trip. Luckily for us, the new concoction can be bought online. (Though, it is currently sold out.)

The coffee grounds can be prepared in a variety of ways as well. Cafes will be able to make lattes, espressos, French Press and cold. In fact, the French Press is a great way to bring out the blueberry notes and adding milk is said to make the flavors more pronounced.
So, grab yourself a bag and brew this delicious wine-infused coffee right up.
