Check your calendar: It’s exactly one month until Cinco de Mayo.
And we want you to be prepared, because the unprepared Cinco de Mayo celebrant will end up with a cerveza in hand, rather than a good glass of wine.
With that in mind, we offer the following recipe from the folks at DOLE. No, the recipe does not include chunks of pineapple, as you might expect, but it does offer plenty of flavor. And it pairs perfectly with Sauvignon Blanc or a dry rendition of Chenin Blanc.
Start gathering your non-perishable ingredients now, and you’ll be ready to enjoy a beer-free Cinco de Mayo.
