This was delicious. I made it for DH's B-day a couple of days ahead so it was full flavored and perfect with the roast chicken. We're really big wine fans but it was a lovely blend of flavors with the cranberries. Super simple to make and I'll admit to omitting the vinegar as I thought the wine would be acidic enough and that worked well for us. I loved the cinnamon addition. Made for Photo Tag.
