Recipe - Mushroom Bolognese

5/19/2020

0 Comments

 
Flavor alert! If you're eating less meat, this Mushroom Bolognese is vegetarian, flavorful and complex. The additions of soy sauce and tomato paste provide the umami characteristic. ​Red wine gives it richness and depth. A dash of cream at the end makes it silky and  decadent.
​For pasta, we recommend Bucatini because it's thicker than spaghetti and has a tiny hole that runs all the way through the middle; this little hole means more of the delicious sauce is absorbed into the pasta. Make sure you cook your pasta al dente and try pairing it with a tomato loving red wine, such as our 2018 Helix Sangiovese from Stillwater Creek Vineyard.
Note: Although the recipe calls for cremini mushrooms, it can also be made using white mushrooms and skipping the dried porcini if unavailable.

Recipe - Chorizo Stir-Fry

Regional foods tend to pair perfectly with regional wines. Take this slightly spicy and smoky, chorizo stir-fry. It’s an easy one-pan recipe that packs a flavorful punch and pairs great with varieties more commonly grown in Spain: grenacha (grenache), monastrell (mourvèdre), cabernet sauvignon, merlot, syrah and tempranillo. For Helix fans, we recommend trying this chorizo stir-fry with our Grenache and Mourvèdre dominant red blend, the SoRhô.
Try it with our 2016 Helix SoRhô or the 2017 Helix SoRhô, both sourced from Stone Tree Vineyard in the Wahluke Slope. ​

Recipe - Herb & Feta Sauce

5/7/2020

Our simple Herb and Feta Sauce is a snap to prepare and perfect for meats, potatoes, grilled veggies and crostinis.

We love the combination of mint, dill, parsley and basil, but you can use any blend of seasonal herbs picked straight out of the garden. Get crazy and try lemon thyme or oregano. The highly herbaceousness of the sauce goes great with high acid white wines and rosé. Try it with our 2019 Helix Stillwater Creek Vineyard Sangiovese Rosé or our 2019 REININGER Birch Creek Vineyard Sémillon.

#HelixCARES: Help Give Back to Second Harvest

Bottle Shot of 2016 Helix Phinny Hill Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Since COVID-19 hit, and the statewide ordinance of closing mandatory businesses hundreds of people across the state (and the country for that matter) have been furloughed or completely let go of their positions. Every day, more and more people are needing assistance to pay their rent, to keep the electricity going and to put food on their tables. 
As a business in downtown Spokane since 2017, and having familial roots for the last 5 generations in eastern Washington and Oregon, we wanted to give back to those in our community. To this end, we are donating 10% of the proceeds from sales of our Columbia Valley sourced 2016 Helix Cabernet Sauvignon during the months of April and May to Second Harvest.
