Oh, how we love the 2011 Chateau Montelena Potter Valley Riesling with Asian cuisine! The traditional sweet and spicy flavors in Thai sweet chili sauces, along with a smidgen of Sriracha hot sauce, provide a perfect dipping companion to this easy Tofu Tempura dish!

The irresistible floral notes and bright acidity of our Potter Valley Riesling compliment the rich taste and texture of any tempura.

Recipe: Corn & Blueberry Pancakes
Wine Pairing: Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Riesling


Kendall-Jackson recommends a few ways to spice up your corn on the cob this summer. Forget just grilling or boiling, why not:

• Try cutting it off the cob, puree in the blender and then add to polenta for an intense corn flavor
• Mix kernels into vanilla ice cream for an interesting twist
• Grill, but add a few lemon verbena leaves inside the husk
• Save the cobs (after the kernels have been cut off) and simmer in water for 20 minutes for an awesome corn stock - use as a base for soups or even risotto
• Add to pancake or muffin batters

Try their recipe for Corn & Blueberry Pancakes - a great summer pairing with a glass of Riesling and perfect for a relaxing, late Sunday morning brunch! The slight corn flavor in the pancakes compliments the crisp and nearly dry Vintner's Reserve Riesling.
