Father’s Day Picnic

Looking for a fun way to celebrate Dad this year? Skip the ho-hum necktie and opt for a classy picnic instead. Turn a simple meal on a blanket into a celebratory outing with a few father-approved recipes, the perfect Sonoma-Cutrer wine pairings—plus some fun picnic-themed gift ideas to cover all your bases.

There’s a time and a place for a basket full of cold cuts and pre-made potato salad, but Father’s Day is not one of them. Think outside the box—er, basket—and plan Dad’s spread around a showstopper like Grilled Korean-Style Short Ribs.

Easy to make ahead, these flavor-packed ribs blend an exotic mix of flavors ranging from fresh ginger to chili flakes. Pair with a smooth, juicy red like Sonoma-Cutrer’s Russian River Valley Pinot Noir to complement the bold flavors of the beef.

Is Dad more of a hands-on grill man? Scope out a well-equipped picnic site and let him get in on the fun when you toss a few tasty Halibut Hobo Packs over the coals. Prosciutto, citrus and capers infuse the fish with flavors that pair perfectly with Sonoma-Cutrer’s distinctive Les Pierres Chardonnay.

If you want to stick to classic picnic fare, plan your meal around a beautiful Sonoma-Cutrer Roasted Chicken, a crowd pleaser packed with fresh herbs and plenty of garlic. Elevate this lovely dish by serving it with a special-occasion worthy bottle of Founder’s Reserve Legacy Chardonnay.

Still stumped about a gift? Play off the picnic theme with an insulated wine tote, vintage corkscrew or picnic-ready stemless wine glasses. Consider throwing in a nice selection of artisanal salts and gourmet spreads for foodie fathers, or surprise active dads with a new bocce ball or croquet set to enjoy between helpings.

For a gift that keeps on giving, why not sign Dad up for Club Cutrer? He’ll get first dibs on limited release wines, enjoy discounts and receive three exclusive shipments of Sonoma-Cutrer wine throughout the year.

No matter what you pack in your Father’s Day picnic basket, turn it into a truly memorable celebration with your favorite bottle of Sonoma-Cutrer wine.

Polenta Taragna with Mushrooms

Holidays & Hosting

Polenta taragna, made with buckwheat, is a typical dish from Valtellina. The name comes from the word tarai, the stick used to constantly stir the polenta to keep it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Historically the polenta cooking in poor families’ kitchens was black because it was made exclusively with buckwheat flour. The result was a very nutritious dish, but with a very strong taste. Those who could afford it added a little cornmeal to soften the impact on the palate, thus creating the recipe as we know it today. Excellent with the 2021 Owsley Pinot Noir.

Corn and Bacon Risotto

Holidays & Hosting

The history of risotto is rife with conflicting theories about its origins, however, it is certain that rice was first introduced to Italy by the Arabs during the Middle Ages. Saffron traditionally flavors risotto. You can add it if you like but this version depends on bacon and sweet corn to match it to the rich 2022 Vine Hill Pinot Noir.
