Wine with Friends | Michel Gassier Lou Coucardié 2012

by

From time to time I am the fortunate recipient of wines sent to me to review. It is especially nice to share these wines with friends. Not only does it make for lively conversation, and often diverse opinions, but it also makes for a very enjoyable occasion.

Now that fall has arrived the Butternut Squash is superb and readily available at farmer’s markets or the grocery store. This is a simple version that can easily be prepared for a weeknight dinner.

#ThisWineThatDish | Evolve Cellars Spontaneity | Cauliflower Gratin

by

Roasting the cauliflower tames the bitterness and brings out the sweet, crispiness that makes it so appealing in this dish. Add goat cheese, and the right wine, perfection!

Water Street Cafe | Noble Ridge | Wine Dinner first in a series…

by

The evening started pleasantly with an atmosphere enhanced by sparkling lights and mellow instrumental sounds of a sitar. There was no doubt that Chef Alan really pulled out all the stops when it came to the dishes that were paired with the Nobel Ridge wines.

#ThisWineThatDish | Little Engine Pinot Noir | Thanksgiving Turkey

by

“A bountiful nose of bramble fruit with licorice and a touch of eucalyptus leads into a silky palate of cherry, sassafras and basil leaf. The pleasing structure of this wine leaves you with a refreshing and clean finish.” winery notes

#ThisWineThatDish | Moon Curser Border Vines | Unstuffed Anaheim Peppers

by

Osoyoos East Bench grown, Bordeaux inspired: a Cabernet Sauvignon focused blend with Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Carménère…no Merlot was harmed in the making of this wine.

#Taste| Naramata Inn Okanagan Apple Oat Crumble | CedarCreek Platinum Reserve Riesling Icewine

by

This dessert is ALL about apples – use in-season, local apples if you can – these have an acidity and starch that really make the compote sing, that you won’t get at other times of the year.
