Recipes
Tagliatelle Bolognese
Flour+Water, San Francisco
Pair: Departure Pinot Noir
This is the dish we always prepare on our Annual Winter trip to the Metolius River. It always reminds us of the river, the forest, and our cozy Winter nights in front of the fire.
Quiche Lorraine
Bouchon, Yountville
Pair: Grüner Veltliner
This is Thomas Keller's recipe that you'll find at his Bouchon restaurant in Yountville. It is a staple for us year round and perfect for dinner parties, because most of the preparation is done days in advance. This always transports us back to our Napa Valley days living on Washington Street in Yountville, just steps from Bouchon and The French Laundry.
Sweet & Spicy Hazelnuts
Farm Café, Portland
Pair: White Pinot Noir
This is France's take on the Farm Café's recipe that we've served at Club Appreciation Events and periodically at our Élevée Vineyard Tastings. Along with Piedmont Italy, Oregon is the Hazelnut capital of the World. Locals call these nutty delights "Filberts". These pair well with all our wines.
Mushroom Soup
Balthazar, NYC
Pair: 2019 Élevée Vineyard Pinot Noir
This is Balthazar's famous mushroom soup and our very favorite. It is a classic French style cream-based soup and pairs perfectly with any of our Pinots. The perfect Winter comfort food.
Gougères
Élevée, Dundee Hills
Pair: 2021 Élevée Vineyard Pinot Noir
This is France's homemade Gougères recipe. If you've tasted with us at our Dundee Hills property, these are those delicious savory cheese puffs that France loves to bake fresh for our guests. This is the perfect Winter comfort snack that pairs so well with Pinot Noir.
