"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:
This is from memory. Grandma Jennie made it for our family and her mother made it for them. It has changed some over the years. My Grandma Louise Klipfel used a whole cut up chicken when she made it.
