A San Francisco Game Day Favorite! This recipe is super-easy and irresistible.

Enjoy this classic supper dish!

This recipe pairs Italian sausage, fennel and La Chertosa Reserve Chardonnay and brings a taste of Italy to you. Simmering the sausages before you grill makes this recipe easy to prepare in advance and grill once it is time for dinner!

Best Soup Ever! I make double recipes of this soup every year. This soup freezes amazingly well and I love having it available to pull out of the freezer whenever I feel like a bowl. My grandchildren act as my Sous Chefs and help with the chopping and stirring.

This wonderful flavored Vella Toma Cheese recipe was created for the Sonoma Olive Festival -- As a low-carb alternative, serve with raw vegetables such as carrots, celery, or cucumber slices.

This recipe pairs perfectly with our Eye of the Swan™ Aleatico Rosé!

This recipe is a variation of our Zinfandel Vinaigrette combined in a salad with some of Sam's favorite ingredients. This version combines our Don Silvio Reserve Sangiovese with Balsamic vinegar.

This amazingly, easy recipe uses a bottle of our Samuele's Quarry Red Blend reduced into a rich, red butter sauce that colors the spaghetti in addition to flavoring it. If this sounds like "eating red wine" to you, don't worry, it tastes like wine in the way a deeply simmered Sunday gravy tastes. Pair with grilled Italian Sausages and a green salad for a complete dinner!

This vinaigrette is wonderful made with either Fra Paolo Reserve Zinfandel or Samuele's Quarry Red Blend.
