Cabernet Series
This month we’ll be posting a series of recipes to accompany Cabernet Sauvignon (as a companion to the Cathedral Ridge Winery September Special). The first of four is a really simple quiche to make use of all those delicious end-of-summer tomatoes. Photos, Illustration and Recipe by Erin Gleeson for The Forest Feast. Tomato Parmesan Quiche: Perfect with a glass of Cabernet!
Host a Vertical Tasting Party
For this coming Labor Day weekend, consider including a new element into any parties that you might host or attend. A vertical wine tasting is tasting one particular varietal (from the same winery) from successive years to experience the nuances that can change from year-to-year. It’s a really interesting way to taste the way that unique weather patterns and soil conditions can slightly alter the resulting grape. A fun way to do it is to place each wine in a bag so that the tasting can be blind. Take notes and share personal favorites. You might go in with some friends to enjoy both a white and a red vertical. A Cabernet would be especially versatile with summer grilling: Try the Cathedral Ridge September Special (the two newest cab releases against the vintage). Cheers!!
