Spicy Maple-Pecan Chicken + Reserve Napa Valley Chardonnay

Prep 25min, Cook 15min, Total 40 min

Serves 6

When the weather cools down, one of the things we look forward to most is trying a new recipe utilizing gorgeous fall ingredients. This spicy maple-pecan chicken with radicchio, Brussels sprouts, and cranberry salad from eMeals is as eye-pleasing as it is delicious. Why not make a great meal and pair it with wine? We recommend our 2018 Reserve Napa Valley Chardonnay. The citrus and spicy satin finish complement this savory dish brilliantly.

Sterling 2018 Reserve Napa Valley Chardonnay

“The 2018 Chardonnay Reserve was fermented in 100% French oak, 70% new, and aged for 16 months. The nose is redolent of spiced pears, ripe peaches and lemon curd with hints of cedar, allspice and brioche. Medium to full-bodied, the palate gives up mouth-coating stone fruit and citrus layers with a satiny texture and oodles of freshness, finishing long and spicy.” - Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate
