ntertaining a group of guests can turn
into a stressful event for the hostess.
Thankfully, the arrival of summer brings
fresh, locally grown ingredients that translate
into delicious simple dishes with the ease of
prepping ahead of time. That way when the
guests arrive, you're waiting to greet them,
wine glass in hand!
A classic caprese salad is always a hit and
we've created one with a tasty twist! Using
local peaches, basil from the garden, and
fresh mozzarella, we also included prosciutto
to add a salty flavor for balancing out the
sweetness in the peach. Finish with a drizzle
of balsamic glaze and your guests will be so
impressed by this beautiful, mouth-watering
dish without knowing it took virtually no
time to prepare!
Another great recipe to have on hand is a
unique barbeque sauce. Delicious on grilled
chicken, ribs, or pulled pork, the addition
of red wine to this recipe creates a rich complexity to the sauce that will have your guests
wondering what your secret ingredient is! It's
also a great use for any leftover red wine (if
that's ever the case).

and with all the great local wineries we have
in Berks, it's the perfect match to pair local
wines with local ingredients. We paired Folino
Estate's Traminette with our Peach Caprese
Salad as the notes in this white wine bring
out the sweetness of the peach and balsamic
glaze yet isn't too sweet to overpower the salty
flavors of the prosciutto.

Another fun addition to any party is a
signature drink and the season most certainly
calls for a fruity sangria recipe. Blueberries
are in their prime right now from our local
farms. Mix up a batch of this refreshing
Blueberry Mint Sangria and your guests will
most certainly be offering up a toast to the
wonderful hostess! n
