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 followed by a drying mid-palate and a long, pleasing finish. A versatile wine, made from Marquette, St. Croix, Petite Pearl, and Steuben grapes grown in our Iowa vineyards, Iowa In the Dark will pair nicely with grilled meat and spicy foods including Asian, Italian, and Mexican dishes. Serve at room temperature.
