You’ll love this low fat chicken and mushrooms recipe, especially with the garlic white wine sauce!
A few weeks ago I visited a local New Jersey winery, 4 JG’s Vineyard in Colts Neck, and picked up a few bottles of wine, including the one used in this recipe. A little bit about the Cayuga White 2011…
Cayuga White, named at Geneva in 1972, is one of the most productive and disease-resistant varieties grown in the eastern U.S. The wine produced from Cayuga grapes is semi-dry, light, and fruity. Cayuga has a sensational aroma of apples with a hint of melon. It makes a great summer sipping wine and great compliment to salads and cheeses.
If you live in New Jersey, check out the Garden State Wine Growers Association for a list of NJ wineries and festivals. They’re so much fun to go to, especially for a girl’s day out!
