Recipes & Pairings
Inspired by the way we eat, drink, and celebrate in our own family, here are a few of our favorite recipes and pairings.

When in doubt, grill it out
Italian inspired — completely Californian
A golden state-inspired pasta recipe, paired with our Buck Cobb Vermentino & Sleeper Ranch Barbera! Two Italian grape varieties grown in small quantities in the foggy, granitic hills of Amador County, these are traditionally tiny-production, tasting-room-only wines. Add an old Western film and make it a whole night!
For people & moments you hold dear
For anyone celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or marking a special event at the moment. Inspired by the dinner we made (and the wines we drank) to commemorate Larry’s 75th birthday at the end of May! Hint hint: you can even send the wines to your loved one if you can’t celebrate with them in person!
Bucking tradition & catching waves
A Turley take on “surf n’ turf,” inspired by a new wine, the Paso Robles Old Vines blend. Hailing from some of our best old-vine sites in the region, the wine has something very “old west” about it. When we tasted the wine as a (virtual) group during 2020, our winemaker Tegan Passalacqua called it “the surfing cowboy,” and the name stuck.
