Winemaker "Dover Dan" and I love good food and good wine, so we're always looking for light, fresh recipes. With our lifestyle, we're always trying to lose weight!
We also entertain frequently--just casual barbecues for friends mostly, but we also grill for hundreds of visitors on wine festival weekend. We've compiled a collection of our favorite easy recipes in a winery cookbook, "Fresh from Dover Canyon." I hope you enjoy the recipes we've posted.
