HEALDSBURG, Calif. (PRWEB) November 16, 2012
Food + Family = Holidays. Its a simple formula that defines the season for many of us, whether family means relatives or just the people you love. This holiday season, the Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley have compiled a series of festive recipes with suggested wine pairings to pass along their holiday traditions to others. As rich in history as the wines, these recipes reflect contributions by different family members, traditions passed down from one generation to the next, or family favorites so beloved, they make an appearance on the holiday table year after year. Some of the recipes and stories featured:
Ridge Vineyards Winemaker Paul Draper shares the impact his first visit to Dry Creek Valley (Thanksgiving 1954) had on him as a young, college student, along with his recipe for Slow Roasted Leg of Lamb With Mint Gremolata and White Bean Ragout paired with a Ridge Lytton Springs Syrah.
Dry Creek Vineyard owner Kim Stare reveals the many years of trial and error it took to create the perfect Chestnut Soup With Crisp Prosciutto paired with 2009 Dry Creek Vineyard Old Vine Zinfandel, Dry Creek Valley.
