Cook Time: 30-40 minutes

Write Up

Raise your hand if you made a New Year’s Resolution. Raise your hand if you’re sticking to it! If dieting/working out/eating healthy/losing 15 lbs is turning out to be harder than you thought, trust me, we understand. All leaves and no wine makes Erika a dull girl. However, I recognize the desire to fit into those skinny jeans or look awesome in your tight v-neck.

Have the best of both worlds with Lean Green Pozole paired with IXA Tequila, which is the #1 Spirit of RCW's 2012 Top 20 Spirits. Mexican food does not have to be fattening. Case in point is this quick, healthy and very figure loving pozole. Pozole is usually made with pork and hominy but this one is lightened up with boneless, skinless chicken breasts and Swiss chard to boost the healthy factor. Pair it with fresh, crisp IXA Blanco tequila. At under 100 Calories, this tequila is a calorie counters dream. PLUS, you can feel extra good because it’s organic, packaging is made from recycled materials, and a tree is planted in the rainforest for every bottle sold. How’s that for doing good unto yourself and others?

2009 Bench Cabernet Sauvignon

#1 Wine of RCW's 2012 Top 100:

The Red Carpet Family is very proud to present Bench Cab as our 2012 Wine of the Year. We spend quite a bit of our time throughout the year tasting the wines that we will sell at our store and pour in the wine bar. It's a tough job but somebody has to do it.

As we go through the year we identify wines early that we want on the list and as time goes by the Top 100 begins to take shape. Number 1 is a whole other matter. Read More...

Grayson Cellars Wines: 2010 Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay

Winemaker’s Notes:

The 2010 Grayson Merlot is sumptuous and rich with a beautiful purple garnet color. The aromas show rich complexity of black cherry preserves, cherries and white chocolate. This is a magnificently decadent Merlot that finishes with soft tannins, dark fruits and elaborate oak.

The 2010 Grayson Cabernet Sauvignon shows a dark ruby color with a rich nose of red cherries, raspberries and hints of black pepper. Read More...

2009 Ghost Pines Cabernet

2008 Vintage: #45 in our 2011 Top 100 Catalog

Few wines make it to our Top 100 three years in a row, but Ghost Pines knocked one out of the park again.

"This wine shows elegance and weight at the same time, which is the result of blending Napa County grapes for structure, with Sonoma County fruit that brings richness, depth, and power. The nose shows classic Cab aromas of blackberries, vanilla and toast, and the palate offers rich, jammy fruit with spice and cocoa. The finish has enough grip for an age-worthy Cab, without turning your mouth inside out." -Ashley

Ghost Pines winemakers are dedicated to great grapes, and we like the way they cross district lines to Read More...

#77 in our 2011 Top 100 Catalog

90 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
There are 18,000 cases of the delightful 2007 Las Rocas Garnacha, a wine sourced from Calatayud vineyards ranging in age from 70 to 100 years. Dark ruby in color, it delivers alluring aromas of spice box, mineral, cherry, and black raspberry. Layered on the palate, it has superb depth, succulent flavors, Read More...

2007 David Fulton Petite Sirah

#14 in our 2011 Top 100 Catalog

Winemaker Notes: Consistent with previous years of dark color, richness, balance and elegance, this wine brings a hint of black berries, oak and cassis on the nose. Just what you’d expect from a 2007 vintage, there are layers of flavors ranging from bright fruits to a calming earthy nature that jump onto your palate. Here you’ll find boysenberry, red raspberry, leather, cloves and black tea to tickle your fancy. Midway, a lovely, soft texture rolls off into a surprise finish with a tiny more grip at the end in comparison to previous vintages. Read More...
