"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Personal Notes:
Auntie Lu was my godmother and my mother's best friend. She and my mom had a very friendly rivalry over who could teach me to do something (knit, sew, put on makeup, walk in high-heels etc.) first. I believe that my mom had this recipe too, but Auntie Lu got it to me first.
