“I created this recipe for August 2013 Ladies Night Out. When we were creating the labels for this new wine; I kept thinking what I could pair and create with this fabulous wine. It has aromas of mocha, plums and a hint of anise. After the wine had time to breathe, I started to get a bouquet of black cherries and cocoa. This was my sweet dish and of course I had a savory to pair; which was my Herb and coffee crusted Tri Tip.” Beth Heiserman, Marketing and Sales Director at Reyes Winery.
