Sips and tips

This month is all about the holidays. Nothing is better than enjoying great food and great wine with family and friends.

Guida-Guida, my mother, always made the best BROWNIES!!! The ingredients and the directions are simple. Everyone loves them…

Guido and I enjoy our hearty winter meals but also love to find yummy vegetarian meals as well. The base for this recipe is quinoa which is a great source of protein. This healthy alternative to a meat based menu is easy to prepare and makes a great meal with just a salad.

So many of us are enjoying wonderful white wines at this time of the year! Our spring shipments to both our La Familia and GlenLyon wine clubs included Chardonnay, which is a beautiful pairing with this Smoked Salmon Spread recipe. One of our Wine Room managers, Nancy...

We have been lovin’ our new Vino Bianco with Guida and Vita on the label. It is a delightful Viognier and folks in the tasting room seem to love it too. Our dear friend/chef/owner of Glen Ellen’s Olive and Vine Restaurant, Catherine Venturini has a FABULOUS Chilled Watermelon Gazpacho and she feels it pairs beautifully with our Viognier.

This yummy Coq Au Vin recipe comes again from our Tasting Room Manager, Nancy. She is a culinary goddess who lived for a while in France. Her recipe is based on a Julia Child recipe with some modifications and the inclusion of Two Amigos Wines. Nancy uses either our Tirare il Dito or our Cuvee Classico and then serves that wine with the dish as well. Bon Appétit!!
