Exclusive Import!
The grapes selected for Pinna Fidelis' 2009 Vendimia Seleccionada come from the world-renowned region of Ribera del Duero, Spain. The 30+ year old vines are planted at high altitudes with harsh winters and long, hot summers, allowing the grapes to develop intense aromas and sweet tannins. The climate combined with unique soil competition creates perfect growing conditions for the Tempranillo grape varietal.
Pinna Fidelis' 2009 Vendimia Seleccionada is exceptional example of this region. Bright, cherry red in color with aromas of cinnamon, vanilla, ripe fruit compote, raspberry, truffles and pepper. The palate is powerful and round with sweet grape tannins. This wine has great potential for aging - gaining finesse and aromatic complexity.
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.

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.
