The contemporary brut to toast the Christmas tradition


Chardonnay grapes sparkling with the classic method, notes of ripe yellow fruit and bread crust. A sparkling wine between history and avant-garde to celebrate the holidays and accompany Christmas lunch

Enclosed in the bottle e left to rest on the lees, then releases unmistakable mountain aromas and scents.

History and avant-garde

It's like that for the Rotari Brut Trentodoc, whose grapes are harvested by hand between the pergolas, softly pressed and then sparkling with the classic method, an ancient system known already 400 years ago and honed by know-how and by cutting-edge techniques of the Rotari Winery. One elegant sparkling wine, fragrant and intense, which gives the nose fine hints of ripe yellow fruit, with the citrus nuances of lemon and bergamot, but also of the crust of bread and sweet almonds. The perlage is creamy and soft, the wide and rich taste with a long and persistent finish.

At Christmas, bubbles!

The Rotari Brut Trentodoc boasts numerous prizes and awards and is a perfect bubble to celebrate the convivial moments of the Christmas holidays, not just at the time of toast, but also at all meals, because this sparkling wine can be matched perfectly from the antipasto to the cheeses, from the first to the second, accompanying you along the whole salts and downs of Christmas lunch.

Asian Chicken Sandwich

Asian Chicken Sandwich

by Pam on April 25, 2013

I found this recipe on Use Real Butter[1] that looked too good to resist. I adapted it to use what I had on hand and to work best with our tastes. The sriracha mayonnaise was out of this world amazing and I can’t wait to try it on sandwiches and other things soon. The slaw had a nice soy and ginger flavor and the chicken was crispy and tender without being greasy. The combination of  the ingredients together was fantastic. My husband ABSOLUTELY LOVED these chicken sandwiches and even took the leftovers to work the following day. My kids both gobbled their sandwiches up and I didn’t leave a single crumb on my plate. These will definitely be on our dinner table again VERY SOON.

See the bottom of this post for the Giveaway information. Good luck!

Line a baking sheet with tin foil then top with two cooling racks.

Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise then cut each piece into half widthwise. You should end up with four pieces of same thickness chicken. Season both sides of the meat with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and garlic powder, to taste. Pour the flour onto a flat plate. Whisk the egg and milk together in a bowl. Pour the panko onto a flat plate.

Dredge the chicken into the flour; next dip into the egg mixture followed by dipping into the panko crumbs, making sure to get an even coating. Place onto the cooling racks; repeat with the remaining chicken. Place the chicken into the refrigerator for 30 minutes.  Side Note: Don’t skip this step, it helps the panko adhere to the chicken. 

After the chicken has been in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, remove and set on the counter for 15 minutes. Heat half of the oil into a large skillet over medium high heat. Once the pan is hot, add four pieces of the panko crusted chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side, until golden brown. Flip the chicken over and cook for another 3 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and place on a plate with a tin foil tent. Repeat the process with the remaining oil and chicken.

Place the coleslaw mix, green onions, and cilantro in a bowl. In another bowl, combine the grated ginger, soy sauce, lime juice, and rice vinegar. Whisk the ingredients while adding the sesame oil into the dressing. Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mixture and toss to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.  Side Note: I made the coleslaw when I started cooking the chicken so it would not get soggy. 

Combine the mayonnaise together with the sriracha sauce, to taste. We liked our sauce spicy. Set aside.

Toast your hamburger buns in the oven for a few minutes, if you prefer. Slather some sriracha mayonnaise on the bun, place a piece of chicken on top then a good spoonful of slaw. Slather the top bun with more sriracha mayonnaise, if desired. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Quinoa with Roasted Garlic, Tomatoes, Spinach, and Pine Nuts

Quinoa with Roasted Garlic, Tomatoes, Spinach, and Pine Nuts

by Pam on April 3, 2013

I found this Cooking Light recipe on My Recipes [1]and new it would pair perfectly with the chicken dish I was making for dinner. I was super excited to see that I also had every ingredient I needed on hand – you can’t that! I wondered how my family would feel about this side dish because I haven’t made quinoa much in the past. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that they all loved it! The roasted garlic gave the quinoa a really delicious flavor and I loved the color, texture, and flavor the tomatoes, spinach, and pine nuts added. The salty Parmesan topped it off perfectly and we gobbled it all up. This was a easy, healthy, and delicious side dish that would pair nicely with many main entrees.

Prepare the roasted garlic[2]. Click the link[3] for instructions. Once the roasted garlic has cool, separate cloves; squeeze to extract garlic pulp. Discard skins. Set aside.

Toast the pine nuts. Heat a small dry skillet over medium low heat; add the pine nuts, then toast for 4-5 minutes, stirring often, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Heat a small pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil, crushed red pepper flakes, and shallot. Cook, stirring often, for 1 minute. Add the quinoa to the pan and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil; cover with a lid and reduce heat to simmer for 15 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat; stir in garlic pulp, spinach, and tomato. Pour into a serving bowl and top with shaved Parmesan. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
