“Drinking good wine with good food in good company is one of life’s most civilized pleasures.”

As the COVID restrictions began to lift last summer, we started to evaluate the experiences at our winery and decided we wanted to add some creative offerings including a wine and food pairing. Lisa Ann is known to us locally and has a successful air b'n'b where she is known for farm-to-table culinary experiences.

 

Her reputation prompted us to reach out to her to come up with some food pairings for our wines. As a result, she created two mouth-watering pairings including a crostini featuring whipped feta, local honey, and pistachios that paired flawlessly with a variety of our white wines, and a whipped blue cheese with candied pecans that pair fabulously with our popular chocolate dessert wine.

 

Because of the success of these pairings, we decided to consult with her again on a wine and food pairing that would elevate our estate wines in an upcoming tour offering. When the Estate Tour and Tasting are officially launched this Spring, I have no doubt the pairings will be a hit!
