February is Riesling month and this recipe was created specifically to pair perfectly with our estate grown Riesling! The braised chicken thighs in Riesling wine and other flavor goodies create an amazingly moist and rich winter dish. And the roasted potatoes provide a little crunch to balance out the meal.
Roasted Chicken Pot Pie with Tarragon & Wild Mushrooms
Chicken Pot Pie must be the nearly perfect winter food.  Rich, hearty and comforting.  Instead of traditional boiled chicken, peas, carrots, and celery... I chose winter flavors such as roast chicken, wild mushrooms, french green beans and tarragon.  What resulted is a super easy, hearty pot pie that pairs perfectly with a nice winter red such as our Pinot Noir. 
Sausage, Ribs & Beans over Parmesan Polenta
This is a great comfort dish for cool nights and pairs beautifully with our Pinot Noir! The sausage, ribs and beans are braised in a rich tomato based sauce until moist and fork tender. I serve this in large bowls over a bed of creamy, parmesan polenta.
