Try this at home!
One of our favorite things about the summer season is the bounty of fresh produce we pick up from the Napa Farmer's Market each Saturday. We love our weekly haul of juicy peaches, the rainbow of radishes, and of course, as much basil as we can get our hands on. There's just something about this fragrant herb that has always had our hearts. Our favorite use? Pesto of course!
Perfect for fresh pasta, grilled veggies or a dollop on a fresh slice of French bread, this pesto recipe is the perfect addition to your weekly rotation. AND it pairs amazingly with our 2020 Chardonnay. Click the button below and let's head to the kitchen!
