DRIED CHERRY BUTTER

Butter Recipes | 5.13.2022

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.

A classic “like with like” pairing, this dried cherry butter complemented by an herbaceous hint of olive oil perfect accentuates the red and black fruits in all of our Napa Valley Cabernets along with our Napa Valley Red Blend and Merlot.
