Not sure at all how this is a “cobbler,” but I found it looking for a lighter cocktail containing red wine. I used Chianti, and do like it.

Agreed David! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Image of the cocktail in a coupe glass is the wrong image. I'll re-shoot and revisit the recipe ASAP. I'd prefer to make using honey syrup rather than stirring honey with whisky to dissolve.
