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
