Cooking with Wine

We're putting together this collection of recipes using wine of the Sierra Foothills. The reds in this region are full-bodied, and go well with beef, lamb, and other strongly flavored meats. A Rhone-style white (say Vee-on-yay) is perfect with light pasta and seafood dishes. Many of the rosés 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).

Kitchen Editor Joyce Stone is collecting some of her favorite recipes using wine. Our latest is Pot Roast with Port and Mushrooms. Print versions of the recipes are available.
