    Ingredients

    • 7 tbsp Bluegrass Vineyard Dry Red Wine (Mammoth Merlot, Liberty, Blue Line)
    • 1 medium shallot
    • 1 clove garlic
    • 1 stick salted butter (softened)

    Instructions

    • Finely chop the shallot and garlic and add into a small saucepan over medium heat and add in the wine.

    • Put softened butter, parsley if using and black pepper into food processor or bowl and mix until incorporated.
    • Add wine and shallot mixture and mix until it is a beautiful pink color. 
    • Lay a large piece of cling film onto work surface and spoon mixture into a rough long form and at the edge of the film.
    • Roll the cling film around the butter and pinch ends and continue to roll until a nice log forms.
    • Refrigerate for up to two weeks or wrap in parchment paper then aluminum foil and freeze for up to 6 months.

    Notes

    Use to finish steak, in pasta, rice, or on crusty bread for a twist on the normal garlic bread.
