For a classic French dish that looks as elegant as it sounds, look no further than steak au poivre. Cracked black peppercorns season a white wine, Dijon, and cream sauce that’s spooned over seared steaks. Roasted fingerling potatoes and sautéed kale complete the plate. Vinaforé™ Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a perfect pairing to this dish!
1. Preheat oven to 425ºF. Rinse all produce. Halve potatoes lengthwise. Pat kale dry with paper towel, stack leaves, and thinly slice, discarding long stems. Peel shallots and thinly slice into rings. Mince garlic.
2. On a baking sheet, toss potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, .5 teaspoon salt, and ground black pepper as desired. Arrange cut-side down in a single layer and roast until slightly tender, about 14 minutes (move on to Step 3—but don't forget to come back). Then, add half of shallots to sheet and continue roasting until potatoes are golden and crispy and shallots are tender, 4-6 minutes more.
3. While potatoes roast, pat steaks dry with paper towel and season all over with 1 teaspoon salt and ground black pepper as desired. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, add steaks and sear, working in batches and adding oil as needed, until browned and medium rare, 4-6 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to a plate and set aside to rest, reserving pan, off heat, for Step 5.
4. While steaks sear, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a separate large pan over medium heat. When oil is shimmering, add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add kale and sauté, working in batches as needed, until dark green and just wilted, 3-4 minutes more. Remove pan from heat and season with .25 teaspoon salt and ground black pepper as desired.
5. While kale cooks, place pan from steaks over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon olive oil. When oil is shimmering, add cracked black peppercorns and remaining shallots. Cook, stirring, until shallot begins to soften, 2-3 minutes. Add wine and cook, scraping up brown bits from bottom of pan, until liquid is slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and mustard to warm through, 1 minute more.
6. Remove pan with sauce from heat; taste and add salt as desired. Cut rested steaks against the grain into .25-inch slices. Divide crispy fingerling potatoes and kale among serving plates. Serve with sliced steak and top with sauce au poivre. Dig in and enjoy alongside Vinaforé™ Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

Roasted rainbow carrots join juicy shredded chicken atop a tangle of lettuces, peas, radishes, and mint, all tossed in lemony Champagne vinaigrette. Shallot and garlic, sautéed until fragrant and tender, are folded into goat cheese to add creamy, tangy interest to this colorful combo. Vinaforé™ Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc and/or Vinaforé™ Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc are a perfect pairing to this dish!
1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Rinse all produce. Halve radishes lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise into half-moons. Cut carrots crosswise on a diagonal into .5-inch slices. Halve lemon. Peel shallots, halve, and thinly slice. Mince garlic. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for the next step.
2. Pat chicken dry with paper towel, place on 1 half of prepared baking sheet, and season all over with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper as desired. Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over each chicken breast. On other half of sheet, toss carrots with 2 teaspoons olive oil (no need to season here—the vinaigrette will do the work). Roast until carrots are lightly browned and tender and chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, 12-15 minutes.
3. While carrots and chicken roast, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, add shallots and garlic and sauté, stirring, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Then, transfer shallots and garlic to a small bowl, add goat cheese, and stir to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired. Set aside until ready to serve.
4. In a large bowl, whisk Champagne vinegar, juice of 1 lemon, .33 cup olive oil, .25 teaspoon salt, and pepper as desired to combine. Transfer half of vinaigrette to a separate large bowl. Once roasted, shred chicken using 2 forks or roughly chop. Add shredded chicken and roasted carrots to 1 large bowl with vinaigrette and toss to coat.
5. Roughly chop mint leaves, discarding stems. Pat lettuces dry with paper towel and add to other large bowl with remaining vinaigrette, then add peas, radishes, and mint. Toss everything to coat.
6. Divide salad among serving plates. Top with roasted chicken and carrots, and dollop over goat cheese. Enjoy your springy dinner paired alongside Vinaforé™ Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc and/or Vinaforé™ Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc!
