KQED Plus: Sun, Nov 18, 2012 -- 1:30 PM
Ever dream of owning a winery? Don and Tru Miller made their dreams come true 12 years ago when they built Adobe Guadalupe in the Valle de Guadalupe. Rick's dream of cooking in their stunning kitchen, with its handmade wood-fired oven, comes true this season when he cooks for the Millers and other local winemakers. Along the way, Rick shops for just-picked produce at the idyllic farm stand on the grounds of Mogor Baden Winery, artisanal cheeses at Rancho La Campana (a 100-year-old cheese cave) as well as for breads and olives at the charming Cremeria los Globos. What's for dinner? Local leg of lamb with a pasilla olive sauce, mixed greens with fresh mussels and fava beans, and perfect strawberries with chamomile sabayon. Dreamy indeed.
