Pasta Class at Soléna

"If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta - stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life."
Add us to your safe-senders list to ensure that images download automatically. This is an image of handmade pasta being prepared.
Pasta is a glorious vessel for copious amounts of cheese. That's why we've invited Chef Paul Stanislaw to join us in the SolĂ©na Estate Kitchen and host a gourmet cooking class on the art of perfect pasta preparation.

Leading an interactive session, Chef Paul will let you in on the little-known secrets that will have all your friends begging for the next dinner party to be at your place.

FEATURED WINE OF THE MONTH

2015 Orchard Fold Riesling

ONLY 100 CASES PRODUCED
Very bright floral nose, with lemon and lime blossom, mango, papaya and tropical notes. Fresh basil and thyme high notes.
Delicious ripe fruit, baked apple and pear, white peach, lemon pie, key lime, kaffir lime, blood orange and a whole basket of citrus. The wine is medium bodied, ripe but not quite sweet and highly aromatic of floral notes and herbs. Definitely getting the fresh cut basil, thyme and parsley and the wine finishes with gobs of fruit and beautiful, refreshing medium plus acid.
I really love this wine and how in balance it shows. This would be an amazing started with a fresh citrus segment salad with feta cheese. Try it with Heirloom tomatoes and burrata or halibut, avocado and squash blossoms stuffed with goat cheese. Yum.

Chef Abby's July Pairing

Sri Lankan Sambal Shrimp Salad with Green Beans, Jicama, Honeydew, and Peaches 

For the pairing, I was driven to the warm, robust food of South Asia and Sri Lanka. This region has influence from Indonesia and southern India. I wanted to tie in one of my favorite condiments, Sambal, with the seasonal July ingredients available in the Pacific Northwest. Pair with 2015 Orchard Fold Riesling.
