Recipe Notes

Wine Recommendation—Tassel Ridge Iowa Steuben

Iowa Steuben is a semi-sweet, light, fruity, easy-drinking style rosé with cherry and apple notes and just a hint of cinnamon on the nose and cherry and apple flavors on the palate with a slightly spicy, tangy finish. Made entirely from Steuben grapes grown in Iowa, Iowa Steuben is perfect as an aperitif or try it with Mexican dishes, Asian stir-fry, chicken salad. Serve chilled.
