Nick and I lived in wine country for the first year and a half of our marriage. It was the beginning of a love affair for me (and not to my husband, ha!) I fell crazy in love with wine and cooking.
Nick is/was not a big fan of wine, but he is a HUGE fan of cheese. Lucky for us, wine and cheese are the perfect pairing, so we both are quite content.
Fondue is a tradition for us when we decide we are going to splurge and I always insist on getting a great white wine for it (and get him expensive stinky cheese) When Cambria Estate Winery asked for a recipe pairing- fondue was an easy choice. I decided to make it a bit more decadent with some white truffle oil (go for the glory!). If you have not had popcorn with fondue before- go. now. try it. delicious.
Cambria’s hand-crafted wines had a great chardonnay- Katherine’s Vineyard Chardonnay was perfect for the fondue. They are a family owned winery and the “estate” in the name means they make it from their own vineyards- and they have over 150 reviews with a 90+ rating- meaning they more than fit my requirement for a GREAT white wine for fondue at home!
