Discover a simple way to prepare impressively flavorful mussels. Pair with Russian River Ranches Chardonnay.

This hearty chowder is a rich comfort food to be enjoyed on chilly winter nights.

Maitake mushrooms are ideal for this dish, and are now widely cultivated, or available to order online. However, other mushrooms would be delicious as well. When frying, don’t worry if the mushrooms break up a bit. You can fry all the little pieces which are my favorite nibbles. These are fantastic with a glass of Sonoma-Cutrer The Cutrer Chardonnay.

Pair this Olive Conserve with Sonoma-Cutrer Pinot Noir for a flavorsome hors d’oeuvres. ​

Piquillo peppers come from the small northern Spanish region of Navarra. The peppers take their name from their distinctive, narrow, triangular shape: Piquillo means “beak” in Spanish.

At first glance, piquillos look like a variant of sweet bell pepper, but just one bite will tell a different story, as the familiar sweetness gives way to a sneaky heat. Navarra’s piquillo peppers are traditionally roasted over a beechwood fire, which adds a delectable smokiness to their bouquet. The final product is then packed whole in its delicious juices, ready to be sliced, stuffed and puréed into a variety of delicious dishes. Russian River Ranches Chardonnay would be a great match with these peppers.

Celery root is one of those unappreciated ingredients that deserves more love.This recipe is delicious with Sonoma-Cutrer The Cutrer Chardonnay and truly something special to share.
