About
Tasty Tweak: No need to copy the recipe exactly: Replace the fall root vegetables with whatever is in season—squash, eggplant, and tomatoes are a great summer combo, for example.
Pair it Like a Pro: Scribe Pinot Noir Rosé
There’s nothing like a crisp, delicious glass of rosé to enjoy with pan-roasted fish, especially with scrumptious fall veggies. Textured cherry, citrus, and mineral give this wine a truly vibrant mouthfeel.
