Recipe Notes
Wine Recommendation—Tassel Ridge Sweet Roxie Red®
Sweet Roxie Red is a refreshing, semi-sweet, fruity red wine with cherry and citrus on the nose and sweet cherry and candied fruits on the palate. Made from a blend of Marquette grapes grown in our Mahaska County, Iowa, vineyards and Muscat grapes, Sweet Roxie Red is a great sipping wine or pair it with spicy Asian and Mexican foods. Serve chilled.
