Resta Gelso Moro Chardonnay
 | | Chardonnay |
A fresh and crisp wine, this true Chardonnay has a medium body and clean finish. Un-oaked with no malolactic fermentation allows this wine only a slight creaminess paired with hints of green apple and a touch of minerality. Little complexity and perfect balance permit this wine to drink like a true Chablis. Serve with mild cheeses, chicken and fish, ideally with a mild fruit salsa or relish, possibly even milder preparations of sauteed pork. This wine is a great aperitif as well.
Featured Recipe Pairing -Shrimp Salad  | | Shrimp Salad |
As we enter September and hopefully the last month of really hot weather, I thought a light salad and some shrimp cooked on the grill would be a great way to close out the summer. A light lemon vinaigrette is quick and easy and allows the shrimp to showcase themselves. Kalamata olives add a touch of briny flavor. Roasted red peppers and red onions add a touch of sweetness. Some quartered artichoke hearts round out the salad for a great, low calorie, high fiber meal.

Resta Gelso Moro Negroamaro
 | | Negroamaro |
Truly, an easy drinking example of an Old World Italian wine. Medium body, blue fruit and spicy undertones, which soften the Negroamaro grape. Smooth finish and strong fruit make it appeal to a broader audience. Lingering finish. Serve with hors-d'oeuvres, pasta dishes, white meat, lamb, light roated meat, chocolate and cigars.
Featured Recipe Pairing - Chicken Braised in Red Wine

Those of you have been following us for a while know I have a strong emotional connection to Julia Child. I had the great pleasure of getting to meet her when I was at the Culinary Institute. One of my signature dishes at the restaurant was a tribute to Julia - Boeuf Bourguignon. Here I am using her Coq au Vin as inspiration.
