I heart Risotto
It is a conversational piece, it needs love, lots of stirring and is one of my favorite things to make. The other night we had the Pendletons over for dinner and decided to make a butternut squash risotto with chicken, mushrooms and swiss chard. They brought over some of their yummy red wines but I was a little unsure of the paring as I had a bottle of Balletto Pinot Gris open to go with the risotto, as white wine always seems to be the traditional pairing in my book. So I asked Michall which bottle of red he brought would pair the best with the meal, he said the cab would work great and to my pleasant surprise, he was right! I guess that catering background of his really comes in handy as a winemaker.
