Here is a recipe from the winery next door. It was adapted from the Woman's Day Collector Cookbook. It's very good. Fresh Tomato Wine Soup 2 cups peeled and chopped ripe fresh tomatoes 1/4 cup butter 2 tablespoons flour 1 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon each, ground nutmeg and basil pinch of pepper 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup half-and-half or light cream 1/2 cup dry red table wine In saucepan, simmer tomatoes in butter for 5 minutes. Whirl in blender or press through strainer to puree. Return puree to saucepan. Blend in flour, salt, nutmeg, basil and pepper. Stirring constantly, bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes, stirring, until very slightly thickened. Stir in wine; heat to simmering. Makes 4 servings.
