Wine Recommendation: Tassel Ridge Iowa Candleglow ® White
Chicken is usually mild flavored, and Iowa Candleglow ® White from Tassel Ridge is a dry, fruity white that will complement it perfectly. Iowa Candleglow White has pineapple, pear, melon, and apricot notes on the nose and palate and a finish that hints of green apple. This dry white is made from La Crescent, Brianna, and Edelweiss grapes grown in our Mahaska County, Iowa, vineyards. Serve Iowa Candleglow White with lightly flavored foods or just sip it by itself. Serve chilled.
