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.

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!

While visiting my parents in Indiana, we cooked some amazing dinners, and this dish was a stand-out! It is so delicious and simple! Pair it with the 2020 Grenache or the 2022 Red Wine Blend.
