CHERRY JAM BUTTER

Butter Recipes | 4.18.2022

Bread & Butter Winemaker Linda Trotta collaborated with her friend Sheana Davis, Buttermonger and Chef at Epicurean Connection, to develop a variety of deliciously simple recipes to pair with our wines. These recipes were thoughtfully crafted with flavors and elements that complement a specific Bread & Butter wine, allowing you to enjoy the wines you know and love in an enhanced yet uncomplicated way.

This Cherry Jam Butter is simple and absolutely delicious with a variety of our wines where it effortlessly pops the cherry notes in our Merlot, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Rosé.

“The butter deepens the cherry notes in our Merlot and makes it really pop; a fun like with like pairing.” – Linda Trotta
