Four Ways to Savor the Week
The Friday Four
The Friday Four is Nancy’s signature weekly note—delivered straight to your inbox. Just four things, thoughtfully chosen: a vibrant, healthy recipe, a smart kitchen tip, a creative spark, and a wine find worth sipping.
Friday Four – Manchego, Olive, Almond and Serrano Salad
This week’s salad, made with the flavors of Spain—Serrano ham, Manchego cheese, Manzanilla olives and smoked paprika almonds—is an
excellent match for this wine from Rioja Alavesa.
Friday Four – Bouillabaisse, A French Seafood Soup
Dry, snappy and crisp are three perfect words to describe this refresh- ing white wine from the western end of the Loire Valley.
Friday Four – Spanish Inspired Salad with Manchego and Roasted Red Pepper Dressing
Although a wine produced in the “Old World”, (Europe), the grape that creates this clean, crisp and fresh white wine is the same as the name of the wine – Albarino.
Friday Four – Grilled Chicken with Peach BBQ Sauce
With the salad, this pairing is a winner -the wine’s vibrant acidity complements the sweet char of the grilled corn, while its soft tannins won’t overpower the fresh vegetables.
