What’s On The Menu?!

Peach-a Pizza – In celebration of this weekend’s Peach Festival at Cayuga Ridge Estate Winery, Mary Jane whipped up something pretty special. Her Peach-a (Salsa) Pizza starts with a base of creme fraiche base and is topped with a homemade peach salsa – complete with local peaches (of course), local red onion, local grape tomatoes, local sweet & hot peppers, local sweet corn and cilantro. Oh, and, um, before firing we take a big chunk of parmesan cheese and grate a bunch of it over the (yum) peach salsa. [$10.00]

Suggested Wine Pairing: Cayuga Ridge Estate Gewürztraminer

The Prosciutto Pizza – Continued by popular demand, we start this baby with a base of creme fraiche and then top it with prosciutto, garden fresh onion scapes, and a generous dose of freshly grated parmesan cheese. When we’re done firing it, the Prosciutto Pizza is finished with an aged balsamic (yum). [$10.50]

Suggested Wine Pairing: Cayuga Ridge Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
