Our Homemade Sutter Home Wine Float Comes Home for the Holidays

This sweet and creamy delight is made with two scoops of vanilla ice cream, root beer and Sutter Home Cabernet Sauvignon, transforming this classic summer treat into an inviting adult beverage that’s anything but classic, and tastefully rewarding any time of year.
