Just to add a bit more Valentine’s colour to this dinner I am including the recipe for Roasted Red Pepper Soup, and yes, it uses Summer Fresh Roasted Red Pepper Hummus too, easy peasy!
This is the first BC wine to be featured in Wine With Friends and I am especially excited to share my thoughts and impressions, as well as those of my friends who joined me for the tasting of the Solvero 2019 Pinot Noir.
The wine needed to be able to handle the earthy, sweetish combination of the asparagus pesto and lightly cooked asparagus tips, as well as stand up to the distinct lemon flavour.
Could it get any better than this? Whether you are sharing this highly rated Pinot Noir with your sweetie for Valentine’s or with you BFF for Galentine’s Day this wine is the ticket!

The flavours in this dish make it a challenging wine pairing. Nothing steps up to the challenge like a rich, smoothly deep red wine from the Similkameen. The juicy balance of ripe fruit just cries out for a challenge.
Taste through our 2020 Platinum Jagged Rock Sparkling, 2017 Platinum Riesling IceWine and the Desert Ridge Merlot. The trio is stored in a themed gifting box perfect for the New year Celebration.
The tomato base is alive with great quantities of garlic, subtler herbs such as thyme, celery (substitute for fennel) and saffron. But it is the inclusiion of the aioli and rouille (if using) that take this dish over the top.
This was a wine from my cellar. Picked specifically to pair with this very strong and stinky cheese on a specail holiday occasion. Not for the feint of heart the Vacherin Mont d’Or.
