I honestly don’t remember whether I made this recipe up or found it in a cookbook or cooking magazine, but I have had it for decades, and I love it when spring peas are ready to eat. This fresh, herby soup pairs well with my new Rosé, which complements salty ingredients like pancetta or bacon.

I have been able to get local shiitake mushrooms each week from a local farm share and they are the perfect excuse to make this recipe using them as a mix to the mushrooms suggested. Mushrooms are not only nutritious but meaty and hearty and with the cold nights and evenings we have been having, this dish is a must try. It pairs beautifully with my new 2024 Barbera, which is bright and fruity on the nose and palate.

I made this dish while hosting some friends, and it was a hit. It’s packed with summer vegetables. We served it alongside grilled lamb chops and paired it with my 2022 Petite Sirah Red Blend, which made for a delicious meal.

Tomato season is in full swing, and my garden is overflowing with sweet cherry tomatoes! Ron and I tried this simple New York Times recipe the other night, and it was incredibly fresh, easy, and full of flavor. Pair it with the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc.

This one-pot Ratatouille is easy, packed with vegetables, and so tasty! Vibrant flavors of ripe tomatoes, eggplants, zucchini, bell peppers, and a medley of aromatic herbs and spices are simmered together to create a pot of deliciousness. Add this to your dinner menu this week and pair it with the 2022 Lolati Syrah.

I absolutely love all the spring produce that is in season right now—peas, asparagus, artichokes, and beets; it’s so delicious! Here is a recipe from the NY Times that is the perfect way to savor these seasonal flavors. Pair it with the Lolati 2022 Sauvignon Blanc!

When Ron and I first started dating, he took me camping or “glamping” and he made me this dish. I had never been camping before and I fell in love with it AND him. We served it with grilled asparagus and a salad. I hope you try it too and love it as much as we do!

In celebration of Mother’s Day, I wanted to feature one of my mom’s favorite pasta recipes. It’s fresh, easy, and perfect for warm, sunny days. She likes to pair it with the 2022 Lolati GSM. Enjoy!
