This is a beautiful book, one that will delight the senses.
This book combines recipes, wines, and complete menus to create an atmosphere for your family or dinner guests. I enjoyed reading about the different wineries, drooled over the menus, and started planning my weekly dinners around several of these dishes.
I love that there are menus that incorporate fresh ingredients and wines to pair with the meals. It makes your next party planning a bit easier.
I wasn't sure what I would make for dinner one night. I had chicken, but that was as far as my imagination went. Would I do my same ol' same ol', or go with something new? I picked up this cookbook and discovered the recipe for Maggie's Ranch Chicken. Granted, I was using a different cut of chicken and less, but it was easy to cut down the recipe and adjust the cooking time. This was delicious! I can see making this again in the future.
I also saw a recipe for an Avocado Salsa Verde that looks delicious. I will have to try that one for our next taco night.
There are a variety of recipes that will delight even the pickiest eater. So check it out when looking for something a little different.

I picked this up on our recent trip to Sonoma, and I’m so glad I did. First of all, it’s a beautiful cookbook with gorgeous pictures of my favorite wineries. Second, the recipes look amazing, and third, each recipe has a listing for a perfect wine pairing. I cannot wait to make some of these and kick back with a matched meal and wine.
