Wine Week

Week Ten

A lazy afternoon chatting with a winemaker, some local goat cheese and a just-pulled cork…it’s enough to make you want to chuck the day job and buy some vines. This week chef Tim Keller steps out of his kitchen and heads to the vineyards in his Southern Oregon backyard. It’s harvest time, and he’s tracking down a match for his cutting-edge cuisine.

Featured Recipe:

Dinner and a Movie

In this dish, the wine is your favorite film, and if you are going to the movies, you have to have popcorn. I use Southern Oregon wines and cheese from my favorite producers, but you can substitute your own high-quality local ingredients.
