Recipes

  • Raspberry Ricotta Cake

    This delicious cake comes together really quickly and can be made with either fresh or frozen berries, making it a staple year-round. Pair it with the new 2023 Rosé of Grenache!

  • Grilled Bone-In Rib-Eye Steaks with Blue Cheese

    When you're craving a good steak but want an extra bit of flavor, some crumbled blue cheese sprinkled on the hot steak will do just that, especially when you spike it with hot sauce and butter. The use of direct and indirect heat allows for a crust to form but not burn while keeping the meat juicy inside. This pairs beautifully with bolder reds, like the Lolati Wines 2021 Kikoi Red Blend.

  • Bobotie

    This much-loved South African dish is a delicious mixture of curried meat and fruit with a creamy, decadent topping. This dish was served at the recent spring wine club pick up party and it was a huge hit! It is best served with rice, stewed apricots, peanuts, chutney, and coconut.

  • Chocolate Cherry Cake Recipe

    Chocolate Cherry Cake

    This cake is reminiscent of Black Forest gâteau but with more chocolaty depth. The cake's dark chocolate flavor is enhanced by Dutch-processed cocoa powder, which produces a much deeper, Oreo-like chocolaty taste than natural unsweetened cocoa powder. It is absolutely delicious and it pairs well with Lolati 2020 Grenache!

  • Egg Salad with Fresh Herbs

    We have six hens who give us delicious eggs and currently, my garden is booming with herbs and spicy arugula greens! I make fresh bread each week, and this is an excellent summer lunch on the weekend. While simple, it is most delicious and pairs nicely with the Lolati Rosé of Grenache.

  • Strawberry Spoon Cake

    This easy cake with gooey, jammy strawberries on top is the perfect way to celebrate the start of Oregon strawberry season. The batter comes together quickly using basic pantry staples and a handful of berries. Best served warm with vanilla ice cream and a glass of Lolati Primitivo.

  • Zucchini Panzanella

    This Zucchini Panzanella recipe is easy, delicious, and is the perfect way to enjoy all of the summer squash in season! It’s hard not to love the homemade pan-fried croutons and scallions that get candied with maple syrup. This delicious dish gets tossed in a garlicky dressing - just pure yum!

  • Spiced Pearl Couscous

    A delicious one-pot meal with lots of fresh herbs and spices. The eggplant and tomatoes cook down into a nice savory jam. Don't skip on the labneh (or yogurt) as it's essential to the creaminess and overall dish. Best paired with the Lolati 2021 Kikoi Red Blend.

  • Turkey Waldorf Salad

    This quick and easy salad is the perfect summer dish! The hint of curry and zing from the lemon is what makes this dish incredible. The recipe calls for turkey, but a rotisserie chicken is a delicious substitute. This pairs beautifully with the Lolati Rosé of Grenache.

    Meatloaf is a classic dish and my parents made this version for me when I was growing up and it is still a favorite of mine! It’s the perfect dish for fall and pairs beautifully with the Lolati Grenache.

  • Barbecue Sauce

    Barbecue sauce is one of my favorite sauces to eat in the summertime and this recipe will become your go-to! It is tangy and a little sweet, which makes it perfect for summer grilling. Pair your grilled masterpiece with the 2020 Lolati Grenache to wow your guests.

  • Roasted Tomato Soup

    Fall is upon us, which means it’s almost soup season! I LOVE this recipe and have been making it for years. It's a great recipe to make in multiple batches to then freeze in quart containers for winter.

    It pairs best with the Lolati Primitivo.

  • Raw Asparagus Salad

    With asparagus in season, my garden is full of asparagus! I made this salad a few years ago and recently recreated it, and forgot how delicious it is. The simplicity of the dressing really allows the asparagus and citrus to shine. Make it for your next BBQ or dinner party and pair it with the Lolati Wines Sauvignon Blanc.

  • Grilled Za’atar Chicken With Garlic Yogurt and Cilantro + Delicata Salad

    This garlicky, herby chicken is full-flavored and very tender, thanks to its piquant yogurt marinade. It’s flexible, too — marinate the meat for as little as a couple of hours, or as long as overnight. The delicata salad is a great side dish to the chicken, and it pairs beautifully with the Lolati Wines Rosé of Grenache.

It's delicious on its own, but my mom and I enjoyed it with vanilla ice cream. It pairs beautifully with the Lolati Wines 2020 Syrah.

  • The Ultimate Grazing Table

    A grazing table is the new ‘it’ thing for hosts and party planners alike. It has nearly all the same ingredients as a charcuterie board but on a much larger scale. Not only are they beautiful, but it makes snacking and nibbling easy, and fun!

    The key to making a beautiful (and delicious) grazing table is all about varying colors, textures, and height. We’ve outlined a few tips to help you make an unforgettable grazing table.

  • Evelyn Sharpe's French Chocolate Cake

    "Just as there will always be a place in the world for an understated but luxurious black dress, there will always be a place for flourless chocolate cake. This recipe from 1969 was one of the first published, long before the cake became fashionable. Of course, since the recipe has so few ingredients, it is imperative to use truly delicious chocolate." - Evelyn Sharpe

    Pairs deliciously with Lolati Primitivo.

    My mom's stuffing recipe is my absolute favorite! The dried apricots and prunes add the perfect amount of sweetness and texture. This is a must-have for Thanksgiving and the holiday season. It pairs beautifully with either the Lolati Rosé of Grenache or Lolati Grenache.

  • Roasted Butternut Squash with Brown Butter Vinaigrette

    This roasted butternut squash is every bit as caramelized as you'd want it to be, without all the prep work. It is cooked without being peeled and makes a crisp counterpart to the jammy inside. If you prefer the skins to be off, they can be easily removed after roasting. The brown butter vinaigrette is so delicious and really makes the whole dish go from a 7 to a 10. This is a must for your next dinner party. It pairs beautifully with the Lolati Sauvignon Blanc.

  • Green Bean Casserole

    If you're the kind of person who likes some crispy with your creamy, this is the green bean casserole for you. Forget the old-school canned soup: This version uses a homemade base with hen of the woods mushrooms, though any kind of mushroom you like - oyster, cremini, even button - will work. It's so delicious and pairs deliciously with the Lolati Wines 2020 Syrah.
