Recipe Notes
Wine Recommendation—Tassel Ridge Iowa In the Dark
Iowa In the Dark is a dry red with light and fresh flavors. First impressions are tangy acid followed by black cherry fading to plum, a drying mid-palate, and a long, pleasing finish. Made from Marquette, St. Croix, Petite Pearl, and Steuben grapes grown in our Iowa vineyards, Iowa In the Dark pairs nicely with grilled meat and spicy foods including dishes with Asian and Mexican flavors. Serve at room temperature.
