Pinot Noir, salty pancetta, a splash of Cognac and stems of rosemary and thyme flavor the braising liquid that coddles these Pinot Braised Short Ribs.

Creamy Chilean sea bass fillets are seared until golden and crusty then topped with a light and brightly-flavored sauce of wine, shallot, butter and chive.

Chicken Piccata is sophisticated and simple, lightening-fast, lemon-infused and butter-glossed,

In this riff on Coq au Vin, the chicken is falling-off-the-bone tender after braising in a light, bright rosé along with shallots, mushrooms, thyme, and pancetta.

Serve this classic Chicken Marsala with a Caesar salad and a glass of red and transport yourself to a hidden-away spot in Sicily.

To do justice to a nice bottle of local wine, serve a rich and fabulous pasta dish, a crisp and refreshing Caesar salad, and chewy, chocolate-dipped cookies for dessert.
