Korean Short Ribs

Ron makes the very best Korean Short Ribs, and it’s what we will be having for my birthday dinner this year! We discovered this recipe from my dear friend, Mona. She is the mother of Jessica Mozeico of Et Fille Wines, and she is a fabulous cook. I had to have it to celebrate my birthday! We will be pairing it with the 2022 Kikoi Red Blend. This wine pairs perfectly with its dark berry notes and bright acidity. It loves to be friends with grilled meat!

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.

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 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.

Raspberry Ricotta Cake

This cake is on the less-sweet side, but if you want it sweeter, you can use 1 cup of jam or marmalade (any kind of your choice) swirled in lieu of the unsweetened berries. The result will be a little sweeter and a bit more subtle in its delivery of the fruit, but still very delicious. Pair it with 2023 Lolati Rosé of Grenache.
