I can’t think of a better fall evening pairing than a warm cozy bowl of vegetable stew and a glass of red wine. This recipe was created in a paid partnership with Erath Wines .
The ultimate comfort food, this fall vegetable stew is made with loads of veg and delicious broth with herbs and spices. It’s thick, hearty and is vegan and gluten-free friendly.
Pour yourself a glass of Erath Wine as you cook and dine, I enjoyed their 2020 Oregon Pinot Noir. Erath wines are an expression of the land that the winery has cultivated for more than 40 years, longer than any other winery in the Dundee Hills of Oregon. The red, iron-rich Jory soils, combined with the gentle breezes and warming sunshine of a marine climate, have bestowed upon Dundee a terroir of note. It has given rise to the handcrafting phenomenon, and the art of Pinot!
Let’s cook up hearty veggie stew!
