Recipes with Wine

We're putting together collection of recipes using wine of the Sierra Foothills. The reds in this region are full-bodied, and go well with beef and other strongly flavored meats. A Rhone-style white (say Vee-on-yay) is perfect with light pasta and seafood dishes. Many of the White Zins and white Italian varietals you find here are perfect with a variety of cheeses. Barolo, Barbera, Sangiovesi, and other Italian-style reds, can be paired with spicy pasta dishes and any tomato-based sauce (just like Chianti).

Joyce Stone is collecting some of her favorite recipes using wine. And look soon for more recipes here.
