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 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.
