Grilled Chicken Breast with
White Corn and Mango Salsa
Elevate your ordinary grilled chicken to new heights with Beringer Winery Executive Chef David Frakes' White Corn and Mango Salsa. The salsa's simple yet refined flavors make it a "go-to" dish for company and will likely inspire another week's worth of meals--try it with fish, tacos, grilled steak, or pork tenderloin. We think the lush, tropical notes are a perfect complement to our Beringer Knights Valley Alluvium Blanc.

Many people say that asparagus does not go with wine, but when asparagus is paired with silky gnocchi, umami laden parmesan, and zesty Meyer lemon it works quite well. Especially with a bright and lively white wine, such as the Robert Mondavi Winery 2010 Fume Blanc. Give it a try and enjoy.

Chef: Executive Chef, David Bush
Wine Pairing: St. Francis Sonoma County Merlot

Executive Chef Dave Bush says: "I like to serve this item as either a first course or a side dish, alongside a nice grilled steak or roast. The subtle earthiness of our St. Francis Sonoma County Merlot is enhanced by the sweet cippolini onion and mushroom ragout.  With the addition of the balsamic syrup, lush undertones of dark fruit are brought to the forefront."
