Culinary Adventures with Camilla

Can you believe that we're in our 38th #WinePW event? This is an amazingly fun and well-wined group. I always learn something from the other bloggers. This month, the #WinePW crew will be talking "Summer Suppers and Wine" with Nancy from  Pull That Cork ; August has us pouring Rosés with Lori of  Dracaena Wine s; and we'll be headed to the Iberian Peninsula to explore Spanish wines with Gwendolyn of  Wine Predator  in September. What a great line-up! The Summer Supper & Wine Pairing Line-Up Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm will share Eating and Drinking Locally for the Summer Months #WinePW Cindy of Grape Experiences will pair Summer Supper: Cool Pasta Salad and Côtes du Rhône Refreshers Ellen of Family Around The Table will prepare Hassleback Chicken Cordon Bleu Jane of Always Ravenous will prepare Southern Summer Supper with a French Twist David of Cooking Chat will pair Grilled Shrimp with Pineapple Salsa and a Summery White Wine Cam...

A few months ago a friend asked if I would be willing to go in on donating a dinner to a local auction. I agreed. All I needed to do was secure the wine donations and come up with a menu and the recipes. Done! I am going to keep the menu a secret for now, but wanted to thank the donors for making this a success. I will be cooking with CSA goodies from High Ground Organics in Watsonville.... And we'll be pairing wines from Scheid Vineyards in Greenfield, Halter Ranch Vineyard in Paso Robles, and Holman Ranch in Carmel Valley. Stay tuned for the menu and recipe posts from the event which is happening tomorrow night. Very excited.
