The mornings are felt with a slightly cool breeze from the west, drifting from the ocean that lies just beyond the small range of mountains. As I sit on my back porch with my morning coffee in hand, I hear the sound of a train in the distance and my choir of bull frogs are beginning the morning hush after an evening of choir practice.

My songbirds are chiming though, making it known the competition is on. Their melodies much sweeter to the human ears. I won’t tell my bull frog choir however. They seem to delight in their nightly choir practice.

And so now, as I sit on my back porch watching the warm sun rise from the east, sipping my coffee that I actually took the time to make via my French press (the one I so joyfully discovered at the bottom of a box yesterday).. this is home.

They say, home is where you hang your hat. Or at least that’s what I’ve always heard. At the moment however, no hats have been hung in my house. Most likely because we can’t find the box of hats.

We have however, found the dishes, the cutlery, the pots and pans along with all the essentials for a well stocked kitchen. Including our wine glasses. Definitely essential items for a well stocked kitchen.

Along with our stash of kitchen items, I found the box filled with my very carefully wrapped selection of wine; including my favorite Chianti.

Although I pair DaVinci Chianti at home with our hearty winter dishes of pasta and slow cooked meats, I also adore DaVinci Chianti served with spring and summer dishes of grilled chicken, salmon and Ahi Tuna Tacos.

Recently, I served our favorite chianti with an Allspice Rubbed Pork Tenderloin topped with an Asian Cherry Glaze. Simple to prepare, yet it feels slightly indulgent with the subtle flavors of Asian cuisine.

DaVinci Chianti pairs easily with the sweet, warm, earthy flavors of the Allspice Rubbed Pork Tenderloin. Typically used in desserts, the allspice, which is a single spice, has subtle notes of cinnamon, clove and nutmeg and is often used in Jamaican savory cuisine.

I’ve paired the Allspice Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with an Asian Cherry Glaze which also uses one cup of DaVinci Chianti. I love how easy it is to roll this tenderloin in the fragrant Allspice and either grill it outdoors during the summer months or roast it in the oven on a busy weeknight. The glaze is easily assembled and prepared, and when served with the grilled or roasted tenderloin and coconut rice, it makes a delicious and beautiful meal for the weeknight or weekend dinner guests.

For those who like wild game or want to prepare this dish for a special occasion, I’ve also included a version of this recipe using pan seared duck. It makes a lovely presentation and the rich flavor of the duck is beautifully complimented by the rich fruit flavors and medium body of the Chianti.

Chianti at Home describes special moments in a day. Moments that bring family and friends, delicious food and great wine together. Moments that remind me of my glorious visit to Tuscany, getting to know the beautiful people behind this gorgeous wine.

The loveliest of individuals who take great pride in creating this enchanting Chianti. I think of them as I sip, as I savor the lush flavors that dance on the tongue. Flavors that mingle and play ever so nice together

Almost a year has passed since traveling to Italy as a DaVinci Wine Storyteller. It’s now time to pass the baton. Twelve new finalists for the 2014 DaVinci Wine Storyteller Experience have now been revealed. I’m riddled with anticipation and excitement for these fantastic twelve, talented individuals. Who will be the final four 2014 Storytellers?

All-Spice Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with an Asian Cherry Glaze

The tenderloin can be grilled or roasted as listed in the Directions

Serves 4-6

Ingredients

For the rub:

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper

1 teaspoon ground all-spice

1 large pork tenderloin or 2 small; this can also be prepared with Duck Breast. Recipe Follows.

Olive oil

Coconut Rice (recipe follows)

Green onions, thinly sliced for garnish

For the sauce:

1 cup sour cherries

2 tablespoons honey

1 cup DaVinci Chianti

½ teaspoon cinnamon

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar

½ teaspoon corn starch (optional)

Directions

Mix together the salt, pepper and ground all-spice. Rub the tenderloin with oil and then season with the salt, pepper, all-spice mixture. Let the tenderloin sit for a few minutes while starting the glaze.

Combine the sauce ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil, then turn down the heat to low or medium low, and simmer for about 10 minutes until reduced. The sauce should thicken as it cools, however, if you’d like to thicken it while it’s warm, add two tablespoons of warm glaze to a small bowl and then whisk in the ½ teaspoon of corn starch. Once this mixture (called a slurry) is smooth, whisk it into the glaze and bring the glaze back to a boil for about one minute. This will thicken the sauce.

Preheat the oven or grill to 400F. To roast the tenderloin, place it in a baking dish and then place the baking dish in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the center of the tenderloin reaches 145F.

To grill the tenderloin, place it on the pre-heated grill, cover and cook, turning every 2-3 minutes for about 10-15 minutes, depending on size. The tenderloin is done when the internal temperature reaches 145F.

Let the pork tenderloin rest for few minutes before slicing. This will allow juices to redistribute and keep the tenderloin moist and juicy.

Place the coconut rice on a platter and then slice the tenderloin. Place the tenderloin slices on top of the coconut rice and drizzle with the Asian Cherry Glaze. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions.

Pan Seared Duck Breast with Asian Cherry Glaze

Serves 2-3

Ingredients

For the rub:

Directions

Mix together the salt, pepper and ground all-spice. Rub the Duck Breasts with the seasoning. On a cutting board lined with parchment or plastic wrap, place the duck breast one at a time on top of the parchment or plastic and then place another piece of parchment or plastic on the duck breast. Pound the duck breast with a meat mallet or a rolling pin until it’s a bit thinner and will cook a bit faster. If you like, score the duck breast skin in a crisscross pattern. Do not remove the skin. The skin has delicious flavor and gets crispy when pan seared.

Combine the sauce ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil, then turn down the heat to low or medium low, and simmer for about 10 minutes until reduced. The sauce should thicken as it cools, however, if you’d like to thicken it while it’s warm, add two tablespoons of warm glaze to a small bowl and then whisk in the ½ teaspoon of corn starch. Once this mixture (called a slurry) is smooth, whisk it into the glaze and bring the glaze back to a boil for about one minute. This will thicken the sauce.

To prepare the duck pre-heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add a dash of olive oil. Once the skillet is hot, place the duck breasts skin side down and brown, about 5 minutes. Once the skin is nice and deep golden brown, flip the duck breasts to the other side and cook another 5 minutes. I like my duck breasts medium rare, a little pink in the center. Cook another 2-3 minutes if you prefer it cooked through.

Once the duck is done, transfer it to a carving board and let it rest for a few minutes. Place the coconut rice on a platter and then slice the duck. Place the duck breast slices on top of the coconut rice and drizzle with the Asian Cherry Glaze. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions.

Serve with DaVinci Chianti!
