• 20-Minute Balsamic Mushroom & Spinach Pasta

  This 20-minute veggie pasta dish is super savory, thanks to meaty mushrooms, while the natural sweetness from the balsamic vinegar, basil and pistachios brighten up this quick, healthy vegetarian dinner.

• Asparagus Quiche

  This healthy crustless quiche is easy to make and great for parties. While a classic pairing with asparagus would often be a Sauvignon Blanc, the fresh crisp flavours of this Gruner Veltliner work equally well.

• Asparagus Roll Ups

  Asparagus spears rolled in thin bread with a bacon, chive and cream cheese filling, then baked golden under a sprinkle of Parmesan.

• Baked Mac & Cheese Bites

  You can customize these bites by adding mix-ins like jalapenos, crumbled bacon or how about some lobster. These can be made as an appetizer or a family style casserole for the main course. A Chablis always works well with Gourmet Mac and Cheese.

• Beef Daube over Egg Noodles

  One of the great characteristics of French cuisine is the use of red wine in meat dishes. The wine tenderises the meat and adds rich flavour to the gravy of delicious slow cooked cuts. For the best pairing use the same type of wine in the dish as you serve with it. I used Inniskillin’s Pinot Noir.

• Caramelized onions in Phyllo shells

  Deliciously savory French onion tartlets made with flaky, crispy mini fillo shells.

• Cauliflower Coconut Curry

  This Cauliflower Coconut curry is creamy and delicious, not too spicy but with enough of a bite that you’ll want to have it with a semi-dry riesling like this one from Peninsula Ridge.

• Chicken Piccata

  Chicken piccata is the best Italian-American dinner made with golden-crusted chicken breasts simmered in a lemon butter sauce.

• Cranberry Pecan Mini Goat Cheese Balls

  A specialty of Dorothy’s, colourful and festive and another terrific match with sparkling wine.

• Eggplant Caponata (Sicilian Version)

  Think Italian Ratatouille and you’ll be pretty close. Serve this over pasta or just on its own and enjoy the olives and capers that give it some zing. Serve with crusty bread and a fruity Italian red wine like Vieni’s Novella Nouveau. Italian wine and Italian food – a natural pairing.

• Green Salad with Roasted Beets

  This vibrant, sweet and savory salad is finished with toasted nuts and a creamy fresh goat cheese perfect for a fall dinner but bright enough to go with a crisp Sauvignon blanc.

• Maple Glazed Salmon

  Skip the turkey and try this delicious recipe. You will love the balance of salty and sweet to this soy and maple glazed salmon, and the depth of flavor the maple syrup offers.

• Meatball Nests with Alfredo and Marinara Sauce

  Spaghetti tossed with Parmesan, shaped into muffin-cup nests and filled with a meatball and sauce, then baked until the cheese melts.

• Mixed Greens Salad with Apricot Vinaigrette

  This delicate salad of mixed greens with apricot vinaigrette will welcome spring in your heart and belly. Made with shallots, Dijon mustard, and dehydrated apricots, the mixed greens salad is vibrant, tasty, and easy to make.

• Mushroom Farro with Ground Beef

  Mushrooms cooked with ground beef and tossed with hearty farro grain for a substantial, richly flavored meal.

• Mushrooms in Red Wine Sauce

  Savoury and easy, this is a true crowd pleaser. Serve it on top of barbequed steak or mashed potatoes. For a perfect pairing, use the same type of wine in the dish as you’ll be drinking.

• Peasant Caviar

  The rich flavour of roasted eggplant is perfect as an appetizer served in mini pita pockets or on a crostini. With the garlic, soy and tomato, the flavours are strong enough to hold up to this delicious Cote du Rhone.

• Perogies

  Only Dorothy and Lorraine could make these mini perogies that taste so good. Served with caramelized onion and optionally bacon, this is a classic Ukrainian dish that paired very well with Vineland Estates Game-Changer Rose.

• Savoury Parmesan Shortbread Cookies

  This savoury treat is good anytime of the year but is particularly festive around the holidays, especially served with lovely bubbly.

• Sticky Date Pudding with Toffee Sauce

  Maggie’s pudding is an authentic version of this Australian classic and naturally it pairs perfectly with an Aussie “sticky” from Rutherglen.
