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.

This recipe calls for just apples, but mixing in pears is a nice combination. Excellent with grilled pork chops or on a cream biscuit.

I’ve been making this sriracha all summer, and it is so, so delicious! It’s great on eggs, Thai and Asian dishes - really anything! You could even mix it with mayo to create your own sriracha mayo for sandwiches and burgers. Recipe by Jet Tila from 101 Asian Dishes You Need to Cook Before You Die.

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.

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.

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!
