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.

Wine Pairing Suggestion: Pairs beautifully with a slightly chilled un-oaked Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc.

A delightful salad for warm days or evenings.  Quinoa meets many dietary requests in that it's gluten/wheat free, a natural protein and very tasty.  This dish is versatile as well.  Just leave out the cucumber and cilantro and serve it warm as a side dish in colder times of the year.
