Entertaining

Here at Napa Cellars, we love getting ready for the holidays and what better way to celebrate than sharing great wine and tasty dishes with your family and friends. Here are some of our favorite fall recipes. Cheers!

• Lamb Rib Chops with Exotic Spices served over Spinach Salad with Goat Cheese and Blackberries
  • Pair with the Napa Cellars Reserve Syrah
    The lush, fruity character of our Syrah is repeated in the blackberries and exotic spices of this dish, and complemented by the naturally sweet, rich flavors of smoky lamb and goat cheese.
• Chicken Saffron Brochettes with Spanish Chorizo
  • Pair with the Napa Cellars Chardonnay
    A trip to Spain was the inspiration for a recipe that rearranges traditional ingredients for New World tastes. Free range chicken gives the best flavor and texture in such a simple treatment – an excellent match for Napa Cellars Chardonnay.
• Scallops with Tomato-Ginger Butter
  • Pair with the Napa Cellars Mt. Veeder Chardonnay
    Smoky richness in these grilled scallops mimics the rich depth of the wine, rounded out by piquant fresh ginger and a touch of acidity in the tomato butter.
• Grilled Swordfish Salad with Thai Spices
  • Pair with the Napa Cellars Sauvignon Blanc
    This salad paints a lovely picture at the table, and the bright, beautiful flavors complement the refreshing Napa Cellars Sauvignon Blanc.
• Grass-Fed Sirloin Steak with Mushrooms and Truffle Oil
  • Pair with the Napa Cellars Pinot Noir
    Umami is king here! Serve with garlic-tinged mashed potatoes, flash-fried spinach and Napa Cellars Pinot Noir.
• Argentine Style Sirloin and Salad with Salsa Criolla
  • Pair with Napa Cellars Zinfandel
    This salsa based on red and green peppers may not be spicy, but it has plenty of character. A generous helping of salsa on a juicy steak cuts richness, while the vegetables' natural sweetness brings out Napa Cellars Zinfandel's lively fruit character.
• Salmon with Red Wine Sauce
  • Pair with Napa Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon
    A nicely layered Napa Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon with its aromas of blackberry, licorice, cedar and cocoa is an excellent partner for the rich-textured salmon and complex, dark red sauce.
• Slow-Cooked Lamb with Mint and Spring Vegetables
  • Pair with Napa Cellars Pinot Noir
    Here's a nice spring dish of succulent lamb and the little root vegetables the French call primeurs, the first ones harvested for the season. The aromatic cherry character of Napa Cellars' lively Pinot Noir marries nicely with the mellow lamb, which is refreshed by touches of mint and garnished with bright green snow peas.
• Sirloin Kebabs with Cumin Yogurt
  • Pair with Napa Cellars Merlot
    Grilled meat, vibrant greens and Napa Cellars Merlot - a great way to celebrate spring!
