Recipe Notes

Wine Recommendation — Candleglow ® White

Candleglow ® White is a popular dry, fruity white wine with pineapple, pear, melon, and apricot notes on the nose and palate and a finish that hints of green apple. This dry white wine is made from La Crescent, Brianna, and Edelweiss grapes grown in our Mahaska County, Iowa vineyards.
