Recipe Notes
Wine Recommendation: Tassel Ridge Iowa In the Dark
Iowa In the Dark is a dry, light red wine with strawberry notes and toasty oak on the nose and palate followed by hints of caramel on the finish. A blend of Marquette, St Croix, and Frontenac grapes grown in our Mahaska County, Iowa vineyards. Iowa In the Dark complements lightly seasoned meat. Serve at room temperature.
