he said. “I can have a better expe-
riential factor in the winemaking,
which I believe is important. The
longer we work with these vine-
yards, the more we know them,
and that’s really exciting.”
Wine pairings
Riboli shared some tips on
pairing his family wines with a
variety of popular food items.
“My go-to wine is our San
Simeon Pinot Noir. Whether
served with turkey, ham, prime
rib, or salmon, it’s just so versa-
tile,” Riboli said. “For people who
want a bigger, bolder red wine
with prime rib, the San Simeon
Cabernet Sauvignon is fantastic.
The Opaque Darkness, our red
blend, is so smooth on the palate.”
Lighter foods and appetizers
pair with the San Simeon Sauvi-
gnon Blanc, according to Riboli,
so be sure to pick up a few bottles
of this bright, refreshing wine.
“Rosé is very popular right
now, and there’s a lot of flexibility
to pair these wines with many
different foods,” Riboli said. “Our
Maddalena Rosé is a nice blend,
and our San Simeon Grenache
Rosé is quite popular. Both of
these wines go well with shrimp
and other appetizers, and lighter
entrees, including salmon and
turkey. Our La Quinta Syrah Port
is just fantastic with a flourless
chocolate cake,” he said. “The
sparkling red, semi-sweet Stella
Rosa Rosso Lux, from our Italian
import label, is a blend of barbera
and brachetto, and just an incred-
ible dessert wine. If your palate
likes a sweeter style of wine, it
also pairs well with turkey, ham,
and lighter dishes.”
