Coq Au Vin

Chef Jean-Pierre shares his recipe for Coq Au Vin, a fancy word for a simple chicken dish, made with a red wine sauce. This is a recipe which is appropriate for both a dinner party or a fun gourmet family meal.

Wine expert, Kenneth Chase, chairman of Toast to Humanity, recommends a Cabernet Souvignon from Cavit.

Grapes for this wine are harvested in the Atesino Valley in the province of Trentino, northeast Italy. It's bouguet of fragrant, appealing herbaceous aromas allied with bell pepper notes, along with it's medium-bodied and fresh taste, with well-delineated fruit, smooth tannins and a clean, graceful finish makes it an excellent choice with any chicken dish.

Potato Crusted Salmon

Chef Jean-Pierre shares one of his favorite recipes, Potato Crusted Salmon.


Wine expert, Barry Larvin, founder of Wine Design, recommends a chardonnay with this delicious recipe, “The flavors of salmon match perfectly with Chardonnay”, he states “however, one Chardonnay in particular has wonderful qualities.”

“Kistler Chardonnay of any vintage older than 1999 makes a perfect compliment to this lovely fish. The fleshy style of this varietal remains to be one of the most sought after wines this season. Other styles to try are Pinot Gris from the Alsace Region, or a Rose from the Rhone Valley in France. Both of these varietals blend nicely with the taste of salmon.”
