I've found some wonderful recipes through wineries.

Do you have any specific favorite cookbooks from wineries?

Any specific recipes from a favorite winery?

We found Landmark Risotto some years ago and it has become a house staple.

Does Vino Italiano count? The Bastianichs own... Bastianich. Also co-owners of Babbo, Esca, Lupa, maybe Italian Wine Merchants, not certain about that one. Recipies by Lidia Bastianich and Mario Batali.

I love all the recipies in tis book, but the one I have played around with the mot is the Friulian frico.

Have you tried to make the calamari from Vino Italiano? I don't have the courage.

Handley Winery always has little recipe cards printed out, many of which I've found to be delicious. I checked the website, and they have the .pdf scans of some of their seasonal recipes. On each card, they reference the wine pairing (for the Handley line of wines, of course), also. Here is the link to the recipe page:

The reference to Handley wines is apropos in regards to the poor value/CA pinot discussion going on currently in another thread. Handley makes a very pleasant pinot that's hard to beat for QPR. Check out the review of the latest Anderson Valley bottling (88 pts/$25), the wine is relatively easy to find.

Looks like they haven't updated the page in a while (fall recipes), but the syrah-braised short ribs recipe up there now = $$$
