This is the time of year for hearty, warming comfort dishes. One of my favorites is white bean stew. It’s simple to make and so satisfying on a chilly winter evening. Serve it with crusty French bread and wedges of fresh red pear. And don’t forget the wine. We tried it with our Amista Vineyards Grenache, and they complemented each other beautifully.
Thanks to our friends Judy and EJ for sharing this recipe. Judy says, "I had to send this recipe to you. We served it with your Chardonnay and it was heavenly!"

This very tender bite sized beef rib in a rich and hearty French inspired beef and red wine sauce can be served alone or over sour cream mashed potatoes. We love this dish on a chilly winter evening with our estate grown Syrah.
