Create the perfect summer combination with Iowa Edelweiss and grilled chicken. Extra points if you have sweet corn on hand.
Tassel Ridge Iowa Edelweiss brings out the fruity flavors in sweet corn, and both pair well with these Moroccan Inspired Grilled Chicken Breasts.
Also, this Moroccan Inspired Chicken has spice from the cayenne pepper, and it calls out for a wine with fruit and body. Tassel Ridge Iowa St. Croix Rosé makes another great match.
