Greg Norman, Wine, and Food

Filed in archive Food and Wine on August 23, 2006

Okay, after finding that Pinot Noir over at the Greg Norman Estates site, I became curious about Greg and the wine. So, I started clicking around and also discovered some wonderful, yummy sounding recipes on his site.

The recipes were created by his daughter, Morgan-Leigh, who according to the web site "became especially intrigued with the intricacies of food and wine pairing and began her formal training by studying in Florence, Italy. She's now enrolled at a top culinary school in the United States and plans to become a food and wine educator."

Pictured is her Grilled Salmon and Crème Fraîche Pizza. Also included on the site are recipes for Ginger and Hot Pepper Prawns (3 of my favorite things!); Grilled Tropical Wedges with Raspberry Sauce; Bacon Wrapped Tenderloins with Marinated Portabella Mushrooms and Blue Cheese; and Rocket (Arugula) and Macadamia Salad.

Along with the recipes, Mr. N has included wine pairing suggestions for each dish, which of course just happen to be available at his winery: 2004 Santa Barbara Chardonnay; 2003 Lake County Zinfandel; 2004 Limestone Coast Shiraz; and 2003 Limestone Estates Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot.
