Notes

Optional: For an extra special presentation, make pomegranate seed ice cubes by adding a few seeds into each section of an ice cube tray. Fill with water or pomegranate juice and freeze overnight.

You can use whatever wine you have laying around, or change things up with red wine if you prefer.
