LaBelle
Winery winemaker and owner Amy LaBelle has
crafted a very delicious, elegant, and very special dry white wine with her LaBelle Winery Amherst Vineyard Estate White. Made in Amherst, New Hampshire, LaBelle Winery Amherst Vineyard
Estate White sings the praises of New England and the New Hampshire terroir.
This is a delectable wine to drink on its own to pair with a variety of food.
We paired it with Luxury Experience - Artichoke and Green Chile Mousse
and it was a hands-down favorite. Cheers!

Technical and
Bottle Notes: "Grown on our Amherst estate, this wine boasts crisp, cool mineral
notes on your palate and great structure. A versatile wine. First made in 2016
from a blend of white grapes grown in The Vineyard at LaBelle Winery, this
estate wine is crisp and easy to drink with its balanced acidity. On a cool
morning in October, we harvest our white grapes from The Vineyard at Labelle
Winery. Each year, we blend them into this special, limited release wine that
boasts crisp, cool notes, great structure and minerality."
Pairing
Bottle Notes: "Pairs well with
starter or salad courses, seafood, poultry, or Asian dishes."
Tasting
Notes: The color is pale yellow with rich,
crisp aromatics on the nose. On the palate, lemony citrusy notes and minerality
provide complexity and structure to this crisp and elegant wine.
Luxury
Experience was "In the kitchen and behind the bar®" creating an incredibly
special handcrafted culinary recipe, Luxury Experience - Artichoke and Green
Chile Mousse, that pairs extremely well with this elegant, and crisp, white
wine, to tempt your palate and inspire your own creations.

Method: Add 1 envelope of unflavored gelatin to one-quarter cup of chilled
LaBelle Winery Amherst Vineyard Estate White. Stir to blend and let rest.
Add
mushroom soup (do not dilute) to a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat to
melt. Add cream cheese and stir until melted. Add the gelatin, stir to combine,
and remove from heat. Let cool a few minutes and then add artichokes, green
chilies, celery, mayonnaise, horseradish, and black pepper. Stir to thoroughly
combine.
Pro Tip: Line mold or a loaf pan with plastic wrap, then spoon the artichoke
mixture into the pan. Let cool. Cover with plastic wrap refrigerate several
hours (or overnight) to set. Plastic wrap will keep the mousse from sticking to
the pan and makes quick clean-up.
When ready
to serve, invert the pan onto a serving platter. Decorate the top of the mousse
with thinly sliced artichoke hearts and cornichons (optional). Serve with
crackers, thinly sliced baguette toast, or crudities.
Until next
time, Cheers and Bon Appetit!
