1/2 cup of white wine

Our 2019 Greco di Oro is vibrant, inviting aromas of peach, brined lemon rind - it possesses a very clean savory quality. This wine pairs perfectly with shrimp and crab - we're saving some for crab season!
If this wine was a song, it would be Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, cohesive, yet rising to amazing heights and energetic with depth and verve- it's a roller coaster ride in the best way! And that's why we're also pairing it with beautiful classical music - get a taste of our music pairing here....
2018 Petite Sirah - only 32 cases produced
Pairings - Folk Singer Isaac Opatz, Figs Wrapped in Bacon
Ingredients
12 ripe figs
12 pieces of bacon
1/4 cup mild goat cheese
12 toothpicks
1/2 jalapeno (seeded)
1/2 cup maple syrup
Directions
Preheat oven or grill to 400 degrees and soak toothpicks in water.
Combine jalapeno and syrup in a small pot and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes. Leet cool to room temperature.
Cut figs in 1/2, but only half way through for stuffing with cheese.
Form small balls of goat cheese the size of a dime and stuff in fig.
Wrap figs with bacon and use toothpick to secure.
Bake or grill, 15 to 25 minutes until bacon is crispy!
Drizzle with maple syrup.
Aromas of blueberry compote, fresh blackberries plums, subtle vanilla, touch of licorice and anise make this wine a beautiful pairing with figs, bacon and goat cheese.
There's a great savory undertone of campfire smoke, earthiness and something mysterious you can't quite put a name to and that's why we're also pairing it with Izaak Opatz - get a taste of our music pairing here...
