Talty Vineyards and Winery

This soup was served at various events at Talty Vineyards and is an excellent pairing with our Estate Zinfandel. We have had many requests for the recipe and Robert Peterson was kind enough to share it with us and all of you. So open a bottle of Talty Zinfandel and enjoy!
