Pinot Gris and Bounty from the Sea

Cathedral Ridge Winery has two new releases available, 2010 Rose and 2010 Pinot Gris, both of which pair brilliantly with Shellfish and Potatoes a la Mariniere (via Bon Appetit).  The potatoes and freshly steamed mussels tossed in a light sauce of dry white wine (use the same wine you’re drinking–you’ll taste the difference), butter, and parsley is the perfect savory dish to pair with either a drier, Alsation-style Rose or a crisp and balanced Pinot Gris. This recipe is light, easy, and best of all–it will transport you to the relaxing coastal weekends in the not-so-distant future.
