Entertaining Monterey Wine Country Style Impress An Entire Dinner Party With One Easy Dish
Today’s busy schedules can make throwing even the smallest dinner gathering seem like an overwhelming task. Why go through all of the hassle?
David Mirassou, a sixth-generation family member of America’s oldest winemaking family, says entertaining is well worth the effort because there is nothing better than enjoying an evening of great food and wine with friends and family.
Mirassou’s secret is to focus on making one fabulous feast, such as a popular crowd-pleasing paella that not only feeds everyone, but also creates a festive atmosphere that encourages jovial conversation. To complement the paella, simply purchase a variety of olives and nuts to serve as appetizers, along with a fruit-forward wine, and guests will leave satisfied. Mirassou has adapted his family’s classic paella recipe to be even more fitting of his California heritage, complete with fresh seafood, artichoke hearts and Mirassou’s new Monterey County Riesling.
