Happy New Year! Most of us are headed back to work this week but the joyful, relaxed moments in the kitchen don’t need to stop now. Pour a glass of Vintner’s Reserve Pinot Noir for yourself, and use the rest to slow poach bosc pears to perfection. Sliced and served over creamy burrata cheese and warm crostini toasts, and you have a perfect appetizer to serve post-holiday guests.
