Autumn Chili

We love this chili recipe for its unusual twist of adding a little unsweetened chocolate. This doesn’t make the chili sweet, instead just adding an additional layer of complexity to this delicious dish. Open a classic California Zinfandel which can stand up to such a strongly flavored dish.

Chicken Pot Pie

This is a dish for cool weekend days, when you can take the time to prepare each step. Below is a recipe for making both the chicken and dough from scratch, but feel free to use precooked chicken and frozen dough to make it speedier. A cool glass of Chardonnay with a hot serving of pie is the epitome of comfort food.

Zucchini and Goat Cheese Tarts

Leverage late summer’s zucchinis harvest for this delightful appetizer. The caramelization of the zucchini and the creaminess of the baked goat cheese are an ideal match for our Carneros Chardonnay or our Napa Valley Merlot.

Grilled Corn Salad

This is summer on a plate! This salad is an incredibly versatile base. We love adding avocado, fresh peaches, cherry tomatoes – really anything that looks good at the farmer’s market. We also often add a protein such as seared scallops, grilled salmon, or pork chops to complete the meal. Enjoy!

Baked Brie

A decadent appetizer that is deceptively easy! Feel free to make your own puff pastry, but we like the convenience of using frozen. An optional step is adding a layer of chutney or preserves above the cheese before you wrap the dough; it warms as you bake and adds a surprise and delight to each bite.

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.

Salmon Crostini

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.

Fresh Berry Pie

The perfect pairing to our California Zinfandel or Solera.

Barbeque Tri-tip

Fire up the grill and get ready! This dish takes a little time, but the outcome is worth it.

Shredded Pulled Pork

We love any dish which is easy to make but fully delivers on flavor. The subtle sweetness in the sauce is amplified by a glass of Rombauer Zinfandel.

S'mores

Is there a more American dessert? Picture s’mores and you think of campfires and fire pits, good times spent outside with loved ones. Pour a glass and pass a bottle of Rombauer Zinfandel for an extra special touch for the evening.

Fried Fish Tacos

Forget Taco Tuesday, we’d be happy eating these tacos every day of the week. The toppings are suggestions; feel free to add whatever you have on hand. The crisp Sauvignon Blanc is a dream match with these fish tacos, but if you are looking for red wine, consider our Merlot.

Pork Pot Stickers

These dumplings take a little bit of work, but the end product is more than worth it! The rich umami flavors pop against the rich flavors of either our Zinfandel or Chardonnay,
