#ThisWineThatDish | Maverick Rubeus | Carbonara

“In this series I will be sharing my take on which BC Wine pairs well with some inspirational recipes”This time the wine is definitely the star. Both of the seasonal dishes I’ve made recently are focused on fresh, local corn in a one dish pasta meal accompanied by salads of heirloom tomatoes and fresh BC peaches.
