Seared Sea Scallop Salad with Meyer Lemon, Fennel and Mint

International Recipe

Harvest Time: Robert Sinskey Vineyards

Posted by Stephanie Rosenbaum

Down the road, this frothy juice will become a suave Napa Valley Pinot Noir. But on this hot September morning at the beginning of the 2009 harvest at Robert Sinskey Vineyards, these grapes are just a day or two off the vine, busily fermenting its way from juice to wine.

Event: Dirt to Dining
