'Wine and Dine', the Ultimate
in Wine and Food Pairing

The Ultimate in Wine and Food Pairing for California Wine Fans...
Wine and Dine, California Fine Wines Matched with Gourmet Recipes.

Our very own Ron Breitstein and his partner Hendrik Van Leuven are thrilled to announce the release of their first book Wine and Dine, California Fine Wines Matched with Gourmet Recipes. Wine and Dine features 90 outstanding wines from 48 top-notch California wineries each matched with a recipe created by the winemakers, their chefs or top restaurateurs.

Some of the wine and food matches include: Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc matched with Steamed Mussels with Garlic and White Wine; Long Vineyards Chardonnay matched with Crayfish and Yellow Tomato Bisque; Schramsberg Cremant matched with Nectarine Tart; Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir, Sanford and Benedict matched with Roast Prime Rib with Au Gratin Potatoes; Duckhorn Merlot matched with Grilled Wild Duck with Ducky's Wild Duck Port Sauce; and Opus One matched with Grilled Lamb and Black Currants.

Most of the recipes come directly from the wineries. Top California restaurateurs, including Piero Selvaggio of Valentino/Primi/Posto, Joachim Splichal of Patina/Pinot, Robert Simon of Bistro 45, Michael McCarty of Michael's, Robert Bell of Chez Melange and Michael Chiarello of Tra Vigne, were kind enough to provide some of their culinary secrets and recipes.

The book is divided into chapters by varietals and each one is briefly discussed in oenological and historical terms for enhanced appreciation.

Wine and Dine is available for only $15.95 and, on purchases through the end of 1996, we are offering an additional 10% discount!
