Each time people come to Chinook Cellars Vineyards to volunteer or just to visit, they are rewarded with some pretty good home cooked food to accompany our fine local Ramona Valley and Julian wines.  Often we are asked for a recipe, so in response to these requests and for the entertainment of others, we are writing a cookbook.  We will present some of our most popular recipes here from time to time.  Please enjoy!

To whet your appetite, here is the menu served at our 1st Annual Charter Member Club Luncheon, with their wine pairings. 

Recipes to follow in the coming weeks.
