Recipe Notes

Wine Recommendation—Tassel Ridge Iowa Harvest Red

Iowa Harvest Red is a dry red with plum and black cherry aromas and notes on the palate along with nice acid followed by a long, complex finish. Made from Marquette and Marechal Foch grapes grown in our Iowa vineyards, Iowa Harvest Red will pair nicely with burgers, steaks, pizza, and pasta dishes. Serve at room temperature.
