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.

Fall is upon us, which means it’s almost soup season! We 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.

This delicious, hearty cold-weather stew is deeply flavored and complex but easy to make. The sweet Italian sausage, rosemary, and garlic make a perfect combination in this white bean stew. It pairs beautifully with the 2021 Lolati Kikoi Red Blend.

Whether you're a busy cook who likes to freeze foods for future meals or a hostess with a crowd on hand, this southwestern stew from The Silver Palate Cookbook is the answer. It's best topped with sour cream, chopped white onion, and grated cheddar cheese. It pairs deliciously with the Lolati Wines 2021 Kikoi Red Blend.

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 Lolati Grenache.
