We post recipes here at Fissler Foodies so that you can make fabulous food. And when you go to the effort to cook a great meal, it's nice to complement it with a great wine. We discovered some great wine recently when we attended
Jordan Winery's 40th anniversary party. And when we explored
Jordan's website we found great recipes!
Jordan makes only two wines: a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Chardonnay. I usually don't like Chardonnay but this one was dry and not overly oaky, characteristics that made it transcend the typical California chardonnay. The Cab was fantastic. I know good wine when I taste it, thought I'm not a wine expert so I'm going to quote a few words from the winemaker that definitely applied to my experience: "smooth, approachable, a spectrum of fruit flavors...interwoven with a hint of spicy oak".
The
recipe section of Jordan's website is especially helpful for people like me who appreciate good wine yet don't have special expertise, because the recipes are paired with wine suggestions. So, if you've got a good red wine, like their 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon, they've got some great grilling recipes, like
Grilled Japanese Eggplant with Radicchio and Endive and
Grilled Hanger Steak. If you don't have a barbecue grill, you can substitute a grill pan like the
Fissler Solea frypan which has an innovative interior grilling surface called
Novogrill.
