Recipe Notes
Wine Recommendation—Tassel Ridge American Pink Catawba or Iowa Brianna
Tassel Ridge American Pink Catawba is a refreshing, semi-sweet, fruity rosé with pineapple and other tropical fruit aromas and green apple and citrus flavors on the palate. Made entirely from Catawba grapes, American Pink Catawba pairs well with spicy dishes and cold picnic foods like fried chicken. And, it’s a great sipping wine. 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. Store at 55°F.
