Sorry this reply took so long, but Post wine and probably other wineries make grape (and muscadine) juices in bottles just to match some of their wines. Post Red Muscadine Juice and Post White Muscadine Juice is the bee's knees. Most major liquor stores and some discount stores sell it. I use it all the time to substitute for wine in cooking. It has no alcohol and it is the parent juice that the wine comes from. My family usually buys it by the case at the Post winery in Altus, Arkansas when we are in the vicinity (and have $$).
Cool. Now go cook something and don't forget to return and post some photos!
Great job on the cheesecake, it looks beautiful!!I made her pumpkin, gingersnap, caramel cheesecake a couple days ago as a birthday surprise for somebody who likes pumpkin, gingersnaps, caramel, and cheesecake.

It came out really well. My only complaint is that *for my preferences* the caramel sauce pushed it over the edge sweetness-wise. So next time I make it, I'll just leave the caramel sauce out and just serve some on the side for whoever wants to top theirs with it. Now, I am not a cheesecake fan. Never have been. But this one was less cheesecake-y and more pumpkin-y, so I liked it more than I thought I would.
