Carlos Creek Winery's Hot Dish Red is a sweet red blend crafted from cold-hardy Minnesota grapes grown near the Alexandria Lakes region. Part of the winery's celebrated Minnesota Nice® series, it is Carlos Creek's best-selling wine and a tribute to Minnesota's beloved pot luck culture.

The wine is unaged and unoaked, showcasing fresh, fruit-forward flavors with sweet, juicy notes of blackberries and a subtle hint of spice. At 12% alcohol by volume, it is approachable and easy-drinking, designed to pair beautifully with classic Minnesota comfort foods and hot dish casseroles. The grape blend is a proprietary secret recipe using varietals bred by the University of Minnesota to withstand the state's harsh winters.

Carlos Creek Winery is located at Bold North Cellars in Alexandria, MN, and has been Minnesota's celebration destination since 1999. The winery is fully powered by wind energy and follows sustainable winemaking practices. Hot Dish Red is certified gluten free and vegan.
