A Challenge For Our Wine Family:
Give Us Your Best ‘Green’ Recipe

Share your best green recipe and win lunch hosted by Thekla and Richard Sanford at Alma Rosa Winery & Vineyards. Your visit will include a sustainably-produced lunch with special wine and a walk in the vineyards.

Guidelines for recipe contest are:

* Each variety of wine that we produce constitutes a category (Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir Vin Gris and Pinot Noir)

* One winner per category

* You can enter as many recipes for each category as you like

* Prepare a dish that pairs with any one of our wines. Recipes should utilize sustainable products; including sustainable/organic produce, humanely-treated meats, and sustainably-caught or farmed seafood. Please identify the purveyor of the ingredients you use, or the name of your local grocer or supplier(s) that supports sustainable, organic foods; and please note ingredients grown within a 100 mile radius of your home which will be given extra attention.

* Note into which category you are entering your recipe.

* Contest begins November 1st and will end January 31st

Recipes will be judged on taste and their compatibility with the selected wine, and the use and origins of the sustainable/organic ingredients.

Winning recipes will be posted on our website, and winners from each category and their guest will share a lunch together with Thekla and Richard. Dates for winning lunch will be subject to availability. Winners will be contacted by both phone and email.

Recipe entries can be sent by mail, fax (805-688-9001), or email or even dropped off in person if you are visiting the tasting room.
