As you plan your Easter Sunday dinner this week, make your list of ingredients. What wines will you need to pair with the meal or to use in recipes? Frequently the same wine used in a recipe will be appropriate to pair with the meal. If you are undecided about what wines to use, visit a local winery to taste the wines before deciding what to purchase. Many winery tasting rooms will provide additional information to help you decide what best meets your needs.

For such a special meal as Easter dinner, you may want to have an appetizer or two. Perhaps Stuffed Mushroom Caps or Gelatin Terrine. Both of these recipes use wine as an ingredient. The recipe for Stuffed Mushroom Caps was provided by Chumeia Vineyards, Paso Robles, California. The Gelatin Terrine recipe was provided by Elk Run Vineyards in Maryland.

Enjoy planning for your special dinner this weekend!

Cheers! Kathy
