Recipe Notes
Wine Recommendation—Tassel Ridge Rockets Glare Rosé® or Iowa Brianna
Rockets Glare Rosé is a sweet rosé with cherry on the nose, bright red cherries on the palate, and green apple on the finish. Made from Sabrevois and La Crosse grapes grown in our Mahaska County, Iowa, vineyards, try Rockets Glare Rosé with your favorite spicy foods. Serve chilled.
Iowa Brianna is a sweet white wine with apricot, peach, kiwi, and star-fruit on the nose, and pear, apple, and apricot on the palate. The acidity is perfectly balanced with the level of sweetness for a clean, lingering finish. Iowa Brianna pairs well with soft ripened cheese, salads that contain fruit, and aromatic spicy dishes like Thai or Indian cuisine. Serve chilled.
