In Mid-Winter...

We bunker down with family, enjoying new recipes by the fireplace.  Homes are filled with savory smells of soups and stews.  Children make snow angels outside, skiers head to the slopes, ice skating rinks are packed, cheeks are rosy and lovers head to spend time in luxurious resort getaways.  There is something for everyone.  As I sit beside my fireplace sipping a nice brandy, my mind races with plans for the spring...while the kids come busting through the door, their cheeks rosy and eyes glowing from the crisp air.

Since 1990, club owners Bruce and Pam Boring have traveled California's wine country searching for limited production wines from small, family-owned wineries dedicated to the art of making fine wine. Whether for yourself, or a gift, it is a wine adventure that will not be experienced anywhere else.

Our adventures take us to, not only Napa and Sonoma, but exciting wine regions like Santa Barbara, Monterey, the Sierra Foothills and more.

This month's recipe is  taken right from one of our esteemed partners:

  

Glazed Salmon Fillet Stonewall Kitchen A simple glaze makes this king of fish even nobler. Serve with fresh asparagus. Serves:  2-4 Ingredients   1/4 cup Stonewall Kitchen Peach Amaretto Jam 2 teaspoons soy sauce 1 small clove garlic, minced Red pepper flakes to taste, optional Stonewall Kitchen Roasted Garlic Oil 2 pounds salmon fillet, preferably 2 pieces of equal size Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste   Directions   Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine Peach Amaretto Jam with soy sauce, garlic and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Set aside. Lightly brush flesh side of salmon with Roasted Garlic Oil. Heat a large heavy, oven safe skillet over high heat. Place salmon fillets, flesh side down in pan and cook for 2 minutes. Turn fish with a spatula, season with salt and pepper and brush on peach glaze. Transfer to oven and bake until salmon is just cooked through, about 9 to 10 minutes for a 1 inch thick fillet.
