Recipe Notes
Wine Recommendation—Tassel Ridge Iowa Steuben or Oskyfizzante® Red
Iowa Steuben is a semi-sweet, light, fruity, easy-drinking style rosé with cherry and apple notes and just a hint of cinnamon on the nose and cherry and apple flavors on the palate with a slightly spicy, tangy finish. Made entirely from Steuben grapes grown in Iowa, Iowa Steuben is perfect as an aperitif or try it with Spicy Mexican dishes, Asian stir-fry, or chicken salad. Serve chilled.
Oskyfizzante Red is a semi-sweet, refreshing, fruity, fizzy wine with cherry and citrus on the nose and cherry and candied fruits on the palate. Pair Oskyfizzante Red with spicy Asian or Mexican foods or just chill well, open, and celebrate! Serve at 41°F.
