FOOD
Winter Squash Cavatelli with Speck and Wild Arugula
This recipe pairs well with the Domaine Serene 2011 Winery Hill. This wine, with its fully integrated oak and vibrant acidity, balance the sweetness of the squash while interacting with the umami of the ham and cheese and peppery arugula.
Table Manners
Domaine Serene’s culinary experience pairs wine with seasonal cuisine
Red Wine-Braised Beef Short Ribs
This red wine-braised beef is a study in patience and restraint. At Amaterra, chuck tail flap is seasoned a day in advance, seared until deeply caramelized, then slowly oven-braised in red wine with aromatics until fork-tender. The braising liquid is strained, reduced, and finished with butter and fresh herbs, creating a sauce that’s rich yet refined—comforting, but unmistakably wine-driven.
