Our Spring 2011 Wine Club shipment features two beautiful wines, 2008 Damaris Reserve Chardonnay and 2009 Spring Hill Pinot Noir.  Both wines are perfect accompaniments to fresh spring ingredients.  The Damaris is a 58% Flocchini Vineyard, 42% Sangiacomo Vineyards blend.  Delicate citrus notes, with a hint of toasty oak.  Only 800 cases produced.  Spring Hill is a new addition to our family, located in the prized Petaluma Gap area of Sonoma Coast .  This Pinot exhibits blackberries and boysenberries on the nose and finishes long with hints of tobacco.   

In this episode of Cooking with Carol, Carol pairs the wines with a couple easy spring dishes.  The Pan-Seared Salmon Salad can be served warm or cold, but please chill the Damaris, .  With the Spring Hill, Carol cooked a sheared duck breast with a orange jus.  Enjoy!
