Spinach Fava Risotto & Seared Scallops

Fresh, Elegant and Vibrantly Green

Leek-stud­ded cau­li­flower risot­to is lay­ered with fava beans, basil and ten­der scal­lops. The dish’s fresh­ness and creamy tex­ture high­light the Grenache Blanc’s crisp acid­i­ty and cit­rusy lift.

Creamed Spinach Smothered Pork Chops

Rich, Savory and Totally Satisfying

This deca­dent dish high­lights the bold char­ac­ter of our 2023 La Fin­ca. Creamy spinach, seared mush­rooms and Gruyère echo the wine’s dark cher­ry, cas­sis and plum, while its tan­nins and acid­i­ty cut through the rich­ness with ease.

Lime Tequila Fajitas

Zesty, Juicy and Crowd-Pleasing

Grilled flank steak mar­i­nat­ed in lime, tequi­la and orange is served with charred pep­pers, onions and fresh top­pings. Its bright, zesty pro­file plays beau­ti­ful­ly with the Grenache’s red fruit and spice.

Short Rib Stroganoff

Bold, Savory and Unforgettable

Slow-cooked short ribs are fin­ished in a savory mush­room cream sauce with gar­lic, sala­mi and sour cream — an indul­gent, uma­mi-rich dish that echoes the Syrah’s dark fruit, smoke and earthy complexity.

Pittsburgh Chili

Spiced, Bold and Unexpectedly Complex

This spice-laced chili, with hints of cin­na­mon, dark choco­late and all­spice, pairs per­fect­ly with the 2023 EXP MSC. The Mourvè­dre-Syrah blend adds dark fruit, savory depth and bright lift to match the chili’s rich­ness and lay­ered flavors.
