Recipe Notes
Wine recommendation—Tassel Ridge Iowa Nouveau or Iowa Pizzeria & Pasta Too!®
Iowa Nouveau, a light and fruity red, is our first wine of the season. Made entirely from grapes grown in Iowa, Iowa Nouveau pairs well with vegetable and beef soups and stews as well as traditional holiday meals. Iowa Nouveau is best when consumed soon after purchase. Serve slightly chilled.
Iowa Pizzeria & Pasta Too! is a light dry red wine with juicy plum notes made entirely from Sabrevois grapes grown in our Mahaska County vineyards.
