Reserva: Ribera del Duero

Appellation: Ribera del Duero region, Spain
Grapes: 100% Tempranillo
Aged: 18 months in oak
Enjoy Until: 2018

This wine was produced in the Spanish wine appellation of Ribera del Duero, located in the country's northern plateau. Ribera del Duero is a land of extremes, with biting winters, sun-bleached summers, high altitudes, and silty, limestone soils - the ideal conditions to grow Tempranillo, the region's most popular varietal.

The grapes for Pinna Fidelis' 2006 Reserva were hand harvested from select vineyards and only the best grape clusters were chosen. Vivid red cherry in color, this wine offers aromas of black currant, blueberry, and blackberry, with hints of pepper, chocolate, and clove. The palate is powerful yet smooth with soft, sweet tannins, and a lingering finish.

Chile Rellenos al Horno

Tip: use good quality thick-fleshed canned chiles. Make a slit down the side and spread them flat. Line the baking dish, then spoon the filling over instead of trying to stuff them. Bell peppers should be used only in desperation. The following recipe gives both the customary meat version and an optional cheese version. Pair with the 2012 Kenneth Volk Tempranillo.

An Italian recipe provided by Kenneth Volk Vineyards! A wonderful home-cooked recipe baked until a golden brown. Pair it with the 2012 Touriga Nacional.

Roasted Sweet Potato Chili

Warm and inviting, this sweet potato chili will have you going back for seconds! The bold flavors of the chili would pair wonderfully with Opolo's 2013 Tempranillo or 2013 Sangiovese.
