Linguine Vongole
Have you ever tried an authentic clam liguine pasta? Jamie Oliver has done it again. Erika has picked one of his recipes to inspire you to try something different. This incredible pasta wouldn't be complete without a good wine. Erika has selected one of her favorites: Villa Toscano Pinot Grigio. It pairs wonderfully with Jamie Oliver's Clam Pasta recipe. You can also use it in the sauce.

Erika's Thanksgiving Recipe Recommendation
Erika's Thanksgiving Recipe Recommendation
Jamie Oliver is an incredible chef. Erika has chosen one of his recipes to inspire you this Thanksgiving. With the title "The best turkey in the world", it is quite promising. This amazing dinner wouldn't be complete without a good wine. Erika has selected one of her favorites: Villa Toscano Centurion Old Vine Zinfandel. It pairs wonderfully with Jamie Oliver's Turkey recipe, especially with the flavored butter. It is a must to have a bottle of Centurion Old Vine Zinfandel and roast turkey.

We understand that every time you come to Villa Toscano, you have emerged in a piece of Tuscany with a Californian flair. We would like to extend this experience to your home while drinking our wines. Research conducted by the University of Oxford, which found that changes in sounds can affect the taste of wine.
