Located right on the campus of the University of Delaware, the slogan of the UDairy Creamery is “from the cow to the cone,” and that means it's fresh! All of the delicious ice cream made at UDairy begins with milk from the cows that graze on the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources’ nearby farm. What that means for you is the freshest ice cream you can get. But be ready to take your time – the menu gives you an amazing array of great choices. Vanilla, chocolate, and other traditional flavors are offset with seasonal choices like Key Lime Pie, Mango Madness, and Twice Twisted, with ice cream, brownies, and cookie dough. And if you'd like to take some home, the UDairy Creamery also offers ice cream to go.

You may enjoy drinking wine at home, but how much do you really know about serving it to your guests? If you want to learn how to properly serve reds, whites, and even dessert wines at your next dinner party at Christina Mill, check out these simple tips.

• Invest in a good set of wine glasses. They don’t have to be expensive (many closet less than $5 a piece), but having the proper wine glasses is the first step toward serving great tasting wine. Choose tulip-shaped glasses with stems or without, and make sure that they’re made of real glass to avoid that plastic taste.
• Clean the glasses. Before serving wine, clean your glasses thoroughly by hand using simple dish soap and hot water. Rinse thoroughly before using.
• Serve at the proper temperature. If you’re serving light white wines or sparkling wines, keep them at a cool 40 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Full-bodied whites, such as chardonnays, and lighter reds should be served at 50 to 60 degrees, while red wines and ports should be served at 60 to 65 degrees.
• Keep it at the proper temperature. Keep your wine tasting great all night by using an ice bucket for white wines. Red wines can simply sit on the counter to stay at room temperature.
