Winter Pinot Pairing Recipes

We're embracing the winter weather and enjoying some of the richer recipes that warm us from the inside out. Here are a few of our favorite cold winter's day dishes that pair perfectly with pinot noir. Balsamic Mushroom Pasta by Girl Gone Gourmet This flavorful mushroom pasta dish is well-suited for a Meatless Monday. The mushroom are sauteed in a creamy balsamic sauce then served over fettuccine pasta. So simple, but so comforting and delicious. We're making it tonight and opening a bottle of Grand Detour Pinot Noir to pair with it. Visit Girl Gone Gourmet for the recipe. Pan-Seared Lamb Chops with Cippolini Onions by Fork, Knife, & Swoon A savory comforting meal, these pan-seared lamb chops are quick to prepare and the flavors of fresh herbs, garlic, and sweet caramelized Cippolini onions encourage you to linger over every bite.

Eggplant Parmesan Pasta Bake by Confections of a Foodie Bride This approachable and healthy dish requires minimal prep work, and once it is in the oven, you can really kick back while sipping on a glass of pinot noir as it bakes.
