Rich Fall Color Recipes
Much like the autumn leaves bursting in brilliant shades of orange, scarlet and yellow, our gardens continue to grace us with colorful produce, from purple carrots and red beets to orange pie pumpkins and spicy, peppery greens. Celebrate this beautiful bounty with a rich, warm risotto made with our own mushroom-herb chicken stock and hand-crafted roasted mushroom butter, plus Gruyère cheese bread and an oaky Washington Chardonnay to serve alongside.
