Recipe Notes

Wine recommendation—Tassel Ridge Iowa Cuvée 220

Iowa Cuvée 220 is a dry, light red wine with cherry fading to strawberry on the palate and a pleasant, slightly drying finish with light tannins. It is a blend of St. Croix, Marquette, and Frontenac grapes grown in our Mahaska County, Iowa, vineyards.
