Recipes
(Almost) No-Stir Mushroom Risotto
Often paired with an earthy pinot noir, the silky mouthfeel and umami notes of mushroom risotto make an equally compelling partner to a full-bodied, oaked chardonnay. The richness and texture of the wine stand up to the weight of the dish, while toasty, spicy character derived from oak complements the savoury mushroom, and natural acidity helps to clean the palate.
Bagna Càuda with Seasonal Vegetables
Try your hand at this beautiful and simple dinner party starter served with an assortment of fresh seasonal vegetables.

Don't be scared of the anchovy flavour - they melt away into the sauce leaving a rich savoury saltiness.
