Impromptu Dinner Party
With some simple dishes that are quick and easy to prepare, but look like you've been working all day long, you can really impress that unexpected guest with some amazing food and great wine. This meal includes some delicious Sesame Crusted Tuna served on a bed of Mushroom Fettuccine, along with super fast and fabulous Broccoli, and finally, a savory side, Herbed Popcorn. This will all pair so well with Sokol Blosser's Pinot Noir and with Hollywood and Vine's 2480 Chardonnay.
