Gelfand Vineyards shares their wine country recipe and wine pairing.<\/h2>\n

Gelfand Vineyards<\/strong><\/span><\/a> is a small, family owned and operated boutique winery in Paso Robles, California, specializing in BIG REDS<\/span>. \u00a0Although we have been around since 2001, we are virtually unknown outside of the area, except to our 900 wine club members who have found us during special open dates. \u00a0(We are only open to the public 3 weekends out of the year during festivals). We produce about 1500 cases a year, all coming from our estate grown Cabernet, Syrah, Zinfandel and Petite Sirah grapes.\u00a0 We don\u2019t have a distributor, so you wont find us at your local wine shop, or in any fine dining establishment.\u00a0 But if you have the chance, please visit us during the Vintage Paso Zinfandel Weekend in March<\/span><\/a>, Wine Festival in May<\/span><\/a> or Harvest Wine Weekend in October<\/span><\/a>, or just call for an appointment. We’d love to see you!<\/p>\n

\"Gelfand<\/a><\/p>\n

For this months recipe,\u00a0 pairing our rich and full bodied Petite Sirah<\/span><\/a> with a pork tenderloin was a no brainer. The two just seem to belong together.\u00a0 The flavoring of the pork along with the bouquet of the wine compliment one another beautifully. Accompanied with a small salad, and the balance of the bottle of Petite left over from the recipe ( unless consumed while making the dish) it makes a perfect weeknight dish for just two or a great meal to serve to family and friends with your best china.<\/p>\n

Enjoy and \u201cDrink the Dream\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
