Wine: Abbondanza: An off-dry blend of Muscat, Cayuga, and Viognier, plus the addition of two local tart cherries (Montmorency & Balaton)
Food: Shrimp & Apricot Cous Cous with Cherry Republic Dried Cherries of course.
Why: Enough with the hearty wintertime stews and comfort foods. We need something light and refreshing! Nothing tastes better in early spring than a fresh meal of seafood and fruits. Happy Spring!
