There are many great reasons to get together with friends and family as the weather gets warmer. This season is full of celebrations, big and small.
It’s a great way to get people together, and it’s a wonderful way to entertain them at home. No matter if you’re hosting a backyard BBQ or toasting newlyweds, serve simple food and wine. Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi wines reflect the late Mondavi’s vision of great California wine on every plate.
For a delicious and elegant start to your next event, serve guests Prosciutto & Goat Cheese Roulades (recipe below) with Woodbridge Chardonnay. The wine’s lushness complements the light saltiness of the roulades perfectly.
Depending on the occasion you might offer white or red wines to your guests. White wines should be chilled, but not too cold. Red wine should not be chilled but it shouldn’t get too hot. A 750ml bottle holds approximately five glasses of wine. Each guest usually has two glasses. It should be enjoyable to pair wine with food for casual entertaining. Pairing wine with food is fun, even if you aren’t sure what wine to pair with it.
