    Lemon Garlic Seared Salmon

    Did you know that Friday May 26th is National Pinot Grigio Day? This is one food/drink holiday that I can completely stand behind. With the summer months upon us, I crave a nice chilled glass of dry wine more than anything.

    Lemon Garlic Pan Seared Salmon

    Cavit first introduced Pinot Grigio into the United States back in 1977. With a balanced character, bright straw gold color, appealing aroma and fruit flavor, it pairs beautifully with cheese, chicken or turkey, and seafood. It also is the perfect companion to sorbet and key lime pie.

    After an unexpected visit from my friends, quickly turned into dinner and wine, I scrambled to come up with a simple, fresh dish to serve everyone. Thankfully, I had a bottle of Cavit being chilled and a slab of fresh salmon in the fridge. Within 30 minutes we were enjoying the sunset on the back deck, eating a delicious meal, and drinking fabulous wine. It's really simple nights like these that make for lasting memories and solid friendships.

    So I urge you to celebrate National Pinot Grigio Day. Get your friends and family together and enjoy a glass and meal outside. Relax and take advantage of the beautiful weather and the simplicity of life! Follow Cavit on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest for more pairing ideas. Enjoy!
