Roasted Cauliflower Bisque

Cauliflower is now being touted as the new Kale ~ for folks that haven't warmed up to the texture and flavor of kale, this is good news.  Cauliflower tends to take on the flavor of what it's paired with.  It's also extremely versatile; you can bake, broil, boil, steam, rice, saute, mix with just about anything or enjoy it raw.  I chose to prepare a simple bisque with the head of cauliflower I had in my refrigerator.  It's light and has a lovely mild flavor.  You could add cheese, veggies or a protein to add a little zip to this bisque. "The flavor of roasted cauliflower is wonderful!" 

Petite Sirah Wines

Ancient Peaks Petite Sirah 2010


The 2010 Petite Sirah bursts from the glass with lively aromas of blueberry, violets and vanilla, with trailing notes of tobacco and white pepper. A juicy, chewy texture is layered with concentrated flavors of blackberry, black cherry and boysenberry. Accents of dark chocolate and peppery spice join sleek tannins on a robust yet balanced finish. ($35.00)

Peirano Petite Sirah


The senses are tempted by an array of black raspberry, spice, coffee, cocoa, cola and white pepper. The palate is filled with ripe boysenberry, black raspberry, plum and sweet black cherry and firm tannins, with a hint of smoke and dark chocolate. Enjoy this wine along with a nice grilled steak, baked potato with all the fixings, and good friends. This is a wine that can please now, as well as age out for many years to come. ($15.00)
