Recipe of the Month

Great Friends, Great Wine Dinner of

Creamy Mushrooms with Pasta and Grilled Chicken
- 6 boneless, skinned chicken breasts
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
- Juice from one lemon
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Dijon style mustard
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- ½ cup white wine (Pheasant Valley Pinot Gris preferred!)
- ¼ cup olive oil

In a large bowl combine basil, lemon juice, cheese, garlic powder, mustard, salt, pepper and wine.   Whisk in the olive oil until blended.   Spoon over the chicken breasts making sure all sides are coated.   Marinade for 30 minutes or more.   Fire up the grill and cook until done. Baste with the marinade.

While the chicken is grilling get the pasta and sauce going.
- 1 package of dry pasta, noodles or linguini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup chopped shallots
- 1 (8-ounce) package pre-sliced mushrooms
- ½ cup white wine
- 1/2 cup fat free milk
- 1/3 cup (3 ounces spreadable cheese with garlic and herbs (such as Alouette)
- 2 tablespoons chopped basil
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Cook pasta according to package directions.

While the pasta cooks, heat a large fry pan. Add the olive oil and butter, sauté the mushrooms until slightly browned. Add shallots and sauté 4 minutes. Add wine and cook for 3 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates.

Add milk, cheese, basil, pepper to pan, reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated.   You can add more milk if the sauce gets too thick.

At this point if there is any of the marinade left over from grilling the chicken, you can just add it to this mixture.

Victoria Day
We had a great time in the month of May. We celebrated Victoria Day in honor of our Canadian friends. The music was toe stomping GOOD, played by the duo "OneHum." We had lots of people show up! Only four of which were Canadians however!   That's ok, we celebrated on their behalf!

Memorial Day
Although we didn't have any music, the weekend was still busy.   It still amazes us how many new people stop by. The most wonderful comment we hear is that "you all are so friendly"! We love to hear that because that's part of the prerequisite for working here. You better have fun or what are you here for?!! Everyone here works hard and we love it best when it's busy.

Phesant Valley Phamily
We also had a great family month. Our sister Ginny and husband Victor stopped by for a visit from California with cousin Joe and wife Janis. Then sister Peggy and Sam (Lincoln City) stopped by for a family get together. It seemed a little quiet for us since our 5 other   siblings and their spouses were not here! We had a great time with horseshoes, eating, and then testing out some wine, eating and then testing out some wine, eating and then testing out some wine. You get the drift.

Gail with a quilt made by Janice Jimenez. This is a very special quilt made from Emma’s “Garden” material.  Emma was Janice’s beloved mother-in-law.   She was a special person who was loved by many.  Emma passed away a few months ago and is missed by all, thus the special gift it was for me to receive this quilt.

Wine Purchases
Since the recent Supreme Court Ruling allowing direct shipments to different states we have added new states to where we can ship. We can now ship to New York, Wisconsin, Nevada, and California. Some of these states we could have shipped to before but of course the states want their tax money, so the paper work has begun. Remember that tea revolution?
