Syrah is my go-to holiday wine.  It's perfect for sipping over a long meal as it evolves in the glass.  A great pairing for the 2022 Syrah is a classic mushroom risotto.  The savory, umami notes of the mushrooms are a great companion to this deep, earthy wine.  I recommend finishing it off with a splash of cream sherry.  It highlights the nuttiness of the rice.

If you’re like me and swimming in winter squash, I made this New York Times recipe recently and it was a hit! I used a red kuri squash, which has a sweet but nutty flavor.  I also subbed cilantro for the mint but I think any punchy herb would be great for this dish.  Pair it with the Lolati 2024 Grenache.

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.

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 Lolati Wines Syrah.

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. 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.
