Love in the air…or is that orange blossoms? Our take on the classic Strawberry Shortcake recipe adds a bit of bright California citrus flavor to every delicious layer of this dessert. Pair with California sparkling rosé or Muscat/Moscato.

With Valentine's Day on the way, it seems like a great time to drink pink. Rosé gets its color from maceration, a process where the skins impart their color to the juice as they soak. Red grape skins are soaked for 2-3 days, giving it that distinctive pink hue. #californiawines
