CHARDONNAY & CHEESE:
Pappardelle With Pine Nuts, Raisins and Bacon -- A restaurant-style pasta that's easy to make, and a great match with Chardonnay (From Wine Spectator magazine )This pasta dish, from chef Shea Gallante of Wine Spectator Grand Award-winning Cru restaurant in New York, makes use of an unusual combination of ingredients??"bacon, pine nuts, raisins and two kinds of cheese??"to produce a rich, elegant dish that's a great match with Chardonnay.

When picking a chardonnay -- If you don't like the oaky taste of most California Chardonnays, try a  Chilean Chardonnay.  They use more stainless steel.  Our store carries  Chardonnay Reserve from Chile & AU Chardonnay from Australia....  And just added from the Hob Nob vinyard in France a beautiful Chardonnay of toasted almonds and walnuts with a vanilla nut finish.
