Please enjoy a little behind the scenes details on why these specific cheeses work with our wines. For those who would like to create these pairings at home, we’ve included “reasons to believe” to inspire the palette.

As summer fades into fall our cravings for rich comfort food begin. This satisfying stew, filled with tender lamb and vegetables paired with our Pinot Noir is just the cure for a cool fall evening. Enjoy!

A perfect summer recipe for those days that require a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc or crisp Rose.

Our 2016 Olivet Lane is just the wine to bring a splash of California sunshine to a chilly winters day. It’s vibrancy will remind you that spring is not far away, so I chose this recipe for Pizza with Garlic Cream and Nettles because who doesn’t love pizza?! Also, the bright, citrusy notes in the Olivet Lane cut through the rich and creamy sauce while being livened up with the crisp greens on top. If you can’t find nettles, good old spinach works just as well and it’s also in season for the next several months. Enjoy! – Gary Farrell Estate Sommelier Tiffany Kuhn

You can never go wrong with one of our favorite pairings – Pinot & Pizza! Try a twist on a traditional pizza with herbed goat cheese, heirloom cherry tomatoes and crimini mushrooms in a “pizzette” recipe.

Who doesn’t love tacos? These simple pork tacos are the perfect spring pairing for our 2016 Westside Farms Chardonnay. Zesty lime, rich Crema and savory pork combine with a mouth watering slaw to bring out the lemony persistence in this bright vibrant Chardonnay.

In my home we like to keep thing simple, roasted mushrooms make an exceptional dish as a main course or side, they are strong, rich in flavor and are the perfect pairing for Pinot Noir.

This delicious roast pork loin is the perfect comfort food and pairs perfectly with Pinot Noir. Add a little candle light and you have the perfect date night pairing. Enjoy!

A wonderful compliment to our cedar plank salmon recipe, or a delicious gluten free vegetarian dish on it's own.

What better way to spend a spring afternoon than in the great outdoors with a picnic and a bottle of Gary Farrell Chardonnay. Add this delightful dish to your picnic basket for a fun and unique twist on the classic sandwich. Cheers to summer!
