Greg Norman Wine Estates Cookbook- Review and Giveaway!

My fiance and I are wine buffs. We enjoy wine so much that this year, we decided to subscribe to a wine club membership where we receive a couple bottles of wine every month in different varieties. We’re fortunate in that Virginia has an abundance of beautiful wineries to visit too. So whenever we get a chance, we randomly visit wineries- which is now one of our favorite things to do! 🙂

Personally, I find that part of the fun in discovering new wine flavors is also learning about wine pairings- foods that are good to pair with each wine.

So I was thrilled to learn about the Greg Norman Wine Estates Cookbook by Morgan-Leigh Norman, daughter of celebrity golfer, global entrepreneur and vintner Greg Norman.

The Greg Norman Wine Estates Cookbook features 11 delicious modern recipes such as Steak Tartare & Arugula Roulade, Stuffed Mini Peppers, Down Under Hamburger and many more- each is to be paired with the award-winning wines of Greg Norman Wine Estates. What I love about these recipes is that they’re unique yet, quick and easy to make and doesn’t require a lot of ingredients.

And what’s good, this cookbook is for a real good cause. With your donation of only $5, you are helping CureSearch for Children’s Cancer and you will receive a copy of the Greg Norman Estates cookbook as a personal thank you from the Norman Family! Read HERE on Greg Norman’s dedication on helping this great cause for children with cancer.

We also had the opportunity to taste two fine wines from Greg Norman Wine Estates: the Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir (smooth and silky in the mouth with pronounced flavors of cherry and tamarind) and the Eden Valley Chardonnay (creamy texture and fresh citrus flavor further developed by aging in seasoned French oak). We enjoyed both wines so much we’ve added them to our list of wine favorites. 🙂
