#ThisWineThatDish | Hester Creek Pinot Gris Viognier | Pan Seared Icelandic Cod
As a new convert to this delicately flavoured fish it is fast becoming one of my favourite dishes. Seared, baked or steamed this fish keeps it’s firm texture and retains its moistness. Delicious no matter how it’s prepared or served.
#ThisWineThatDish | Maverick Sauvignon Blanc | Roasted Zucchini
Definitely the star of this dinner was the Maverick Sauvignon Blanc that was the perfect match for the Roasted Zucchini with Garlicky Bread Crumbs and Mozzarella. Plus a repeat dish (a definite favourite) Italian Sausage Meatballs, this time with Marinara Sauce.
#ThisWineThatDish | Maverick Rubeus | Carbonara
Our very first red in a bottle! Rubeus/Rubicon: Named after a river in Italy (the Rubicon) that marked the point of no return. True to the origins of this wine, a portion of the different varietals used in this blend are co-fermented.
#ThisWineThatDish with TIME Winery Syrah | Friday Night Pizza
Friday Pizza Night is a big deal in our house and along with a few favourite pizza toppings we always pair the pizza with a great wine.

#TasteItalia Fettucine Alfredo
This recipe is one I’ve worked with to make it my own and it is simple, easy to make, takes very little time and is deliciously rich and tasty.
