Grilled Squash with Golden Oak

Grilling vegetables with a splash of your favorite Pomona Wine is a cinch!

  • 2-3 cups of summer squash, cut into 1″ slices, or quartered into strips
  • 1/2 yellow onion (or 1 large shallot) cut into chunks
  • 2-3 Tablespoons of Golden Oak Aged Reserve (or other Pomona Wine)
  • 2-3 Tablespoons of olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste (or a sprinkle of Greek seasonings)
  • 1-2 Tablespoons of butter (optional)
  1. Toss vegetables in a large bowl with olive oil and wine
  2. Sprinkle with seasonings
  3. Put on the grill and grill until you see grill marks and squash is tender but not squishy (2-3 minutes per side)
  4. Return vegetables to bowl to toss with any remaining oil & wine. Add a pat of butter and toss until melted.

Christmas in a Crockpot

Make this warm festive cocktail in the crock pot to help keep your family happy during the holidays! 

If you have a LARGE crockpot, you’ll need 3-4 bottles; 2 will work for smaller volume crock pots.

  1. Uncork and pour bottles of Orchard Spice into crock pot.
  2. Add 2-4 cinnamon sticks and cloves (to taste).
  3. You can also add a package of dried fruit – that way it’s a healthy drink! 😉
  4. Keep crock pot on low – make sure liquid does not simmer or boil – you’ll lose the alcohol that way!
  5. Ladle into mugs or decorative cups & enjoy!
  6. BONUS: If there’s a touch of wine left in the bottom of the crock pot, add a ham or roast & cook on higher setting for a spiced roast.
  7. BONUS BONUS: Add quartered onions and apples to the bottom of the crock pot THEN add ham or pork roast & cook on high. MMMMMMMMMMMMM! 😀
