Recipe Notes
Wine Recommendation—Tassel Ridge Iowa Cuvée 220
Iowa Cuvée 220 is a dry, light red with cherry fading to strawberry on the palate and a pleasant, slightly drying finish with light tannins. A blend of St. Croix, Marquette, and Frontenac grapes grown in our Iowa vineyards, Iowa Cuvée 220 is a nice food pairing wine. Try it with a variety of dishes including beef, chicken, pasta, and Mexican dishes. Serve slightly chilled.
