Stella Nera
This winetail recipe comes from Biltmore Estate in Asheville, N.C., a century-old French Renaissance chateau built by George W. Vanderbilt to include 8,000 acres, 250 rooms and 75 acres of landscaped gardens — the largest privately owned home in America. Served at the estate's Arbor Grill restaurant, Stella Nera means "Black Star" and makes a refreshing choice for a spring evening.

star fruit, sliced
