Leah’s Winning Recipe
Sage-Buttered Quail on Manchego Pots De Crème Corn with St. Francis “Confetti”
Paired
with St. Francis Chardonnay
"This dish, literally created for St. Francis Chardonnay, complements the wine’s creamy, buttery flavors,
while connecting to its oak-y notes with smoky bacon and sage. I tried the dish with chicken breast, but it needed
more depth. Quail, a favorite of mine, is the perfect fit because of its “darker,” slightly gamey flavor.
The creamy corn and Manchego cheese are heavenly together, especially with the quail and wine. Chorizo and piquillo
peppers add beautiful color, texture, and piquancy. St. Francis Chardonnay has become a new wine favorite at our
table." |
