A simple little tidbit that can be made ahead and cooked just before serving. Complemented by both Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines.

A simple seafood tapas dish that pairs beautifully with Rosé of Pinot Noir. Serve as a fresh appetizer for guests or enjoy as an elegant dinner for two.

This is a very simple approach which can be used for any of the sturdy greens such as radicchios, romaine lettuce, etc. If you don’t want to fire up the grill, a ridged grill pan works nicely on the stove top. Any kale can be used here but the preference is for Lacinato which is also known as dinosaur or black kale and is widely available.

This is a simple cake that calls for apples, but any fruit that is in season such as peaches, pears, berries or a combination could be incorporated. Serve with Sonoma-Cutrer Late Harvest Chardonnay or The Cutrer.

If Asian Pears aren’t available, you can use tart-sweet apples, regular pears, mangoes or whatever else is best in the market. This simple salad is a fantastic side, or can become a quick meal when grilled chicken, salmon, or shrimp is added. Serve with the elegant Sonoma Cutrer Les Pierres.
