Recipe Notes

Wine Recommendation—Tassel Ridge Iowa In the Dark

This Mediterranean Beef Wrap has lots of flavors. These flavors and the fat from the beef work well with a light dry red wine. My choice for this pairing is Tassel Ridge Iowa In the Dark. It’s a dry, light red wine with strawberry notes and toasty oak on the nose and palate followed by hints of caramel on the finish. Iowa In the Dark is a blend of Marquette, St. Croix, and Frontenac grapes grown in our Mahaska County, Iowa, vineyards. It complements lightly seasoned meat like the beef in these wraps perfectly. Serve at room temperature.— Bob Wersen, Owner, Tassel Ridge Winery
