Smoking Goose smoked duck breast are fully pasture-raised duck that are brined with organic savory spices and smoked over apple wood. The duck has rich, lean and gamey flavors reminiscent of bacon and ham. This recipe highlights the richness of the duck by combining it with a touch of acid, sweet, spice and bitter greens. Our favorite pairings with this recipe are Drouhin Laforet Chardonnay for a white wine selection and Château Puynormond Montagne Saint-Emilion 2009 for red wine. Prefer beer? Choose one brewed with fruit… Lindeman Framboise would be an excellent choice. Read More

Ah, finally, the weather has changed and we can sense that summer is actually on its way. And when it comes to summer wines, there’s nothing better than rosé. A good rosé is versatile and refreshing, and, like any worthwhile wine, offers complexity on the nose and palate. There’s also a lot of variety between rosés- some are sweet, some dry, some acidic, others creamy- which make them fun to compare. This season, Vine & Table will highlight one high caliber rosé each month and offer it an amazing price. We start off with one of our favorites- Domaine de Nizas Rosé 2011, from the Languedoc region of France. Read More
