All-American Chicken Salad Sandwich
The first recorded American recipe for chicken salad hails from a meat market in Rhode Island in 1863. Market owner, Liam Gray, of Town Meats sold a salad of leftover chicken, mayonnaise, tarragon, and grapes that became so popular it transformed the meat market into a delicatessen. This All-American Classic is the perfect picnic sandwich, paired with a well-chilled glass of Rombauer Sauvignon Blanc.

Fettuccine Alfredo
This simple dish is a classic for a reason! Rich and delicious on its own, we appreciate its versatility for customization as you wish. Sometimes we add chicken, other times peas and prosciutto, and yet other times we simply enjoy it as it is. Any type of pasta will work, but we love long fettuccine that gets coated in the sauce. The acidity of our Chardonnay cuts through some of the richness while the creamy body of the wine is mirrored on the plate.

Beautiful and delicious, this appetizer is simple to assemble and sure to impress. A tip? Give yourself enough time for the baguette to cool properly so the cream cheese doesn’t melt. Pairs well with our Carneros Chardonnay, the creamy texture of the wine complementing the savory salmon.
