2018 A TOAST TO

BEST FRIENDS WHITE BLEND

Columbia Valley AVA

To be released Holiday Wine

Festival Weekend

65% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Gris

This wine was inspired by Ellena and her best friend Janna, as it was their

go-to “wine-time” treat. Each would keep wine glasses ready and chilled in the freezer in preparation for their special Chardonnay and Pinot Gris concoction. So, we created this blend to honor not only their relationship, but all best friends everywhere: they are hard to come by, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.

Ellena and Janna were never exact in their wine concoction, but it was always mostly Chardonnay, with a bit of Pinot Gris to add a little crisp, fresh mouthfeel. My dad and I did blending trials with my mom, and she chose what she liked the best. So this is truly her blend, in her style. We hope that you feel how much love was put into this wine, and enjoy it with your best friend!

Winemaking Notes: The light and fresh character of the Pinot Gris harmoniously blends with the Chardonnay’s well-rounded and buttery finish.

DirectionsPlace dried cranberries in a bowl, pour enough Rosé of Malbec to just cover them and let soak for one hour. Drain berries, reserving 1 tbsp wine. Add berries, reserved wine, and all other ingredients to a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Serves 6-8.

Ellena’s NotesI love this recipe during the fall and holidays! The crunch of the arugula pairs wonderfully with the sweetness of the cranberries. One reason why I like to make this around Thanksgiving is because I love to add leftover turkey to the salad and have it for lunch the next day. I have also added some stuffing and green beans, and Mike LOVES it!

Wine PairingPair this recipe with our Rosé of Malbec, our new White Blend, or Malbec.

Use gluten free orzo pasta
