All-American Chicken Salad Sandwich

The first recorded American recipe for chicken salad hails from a meat market in Rhode Island in 1863. Market owner, Liam Gray, of Town Meats sold a salad of leftover chicken, mayonnaise, tarragon, and grapes that became so popular it transformed the meat market into a delicatessen. This All-American Classic is the perfect picnic sandwich, paired with a well-chilled glass of Rombauer Sauvignon Blanc.

Fettuccine Alfredo

This simple dish is a classic for a reason! Rich and delicious on its own, we appreciate its versatility for customization as you wish. Sometimes we add chicken, other times peas and prosciutto, and yet other times we simply enjoy it as it is. Any type of pasta will work, but we love long fettuccine that gets coated in the sauce. The acidity of our Chardonnay cuts through some of the richness while the creamy body of the wine is mirrored on the plate.

Shredded Pulled Pork

We love any dish which is easy to make but fully delivers on flavor. The subtle sweetness in the sauce is amplified by a glass of Rombauer Zinfandel.

Autumn Chili

We love this chili recipe for its unusual twist of adding a little unsweetened chocolate. This doesn’t make the chili sweet, instead just adding an additional layer of complexity to this delicious dish. Open a classic California Zinfandel which can stand up to such a strongly flavored dish.
