B Society Connoisseur Allocation
WINTER 2021
It is once again the “quiet time of year” in the Napa Valley. Not much is happening in the cellar right now…except racking, tasting, blending, and bottling. In the vineyards, we’re pruning and performing maintenance work to irrigation. If needed, this is the time of year to take care of vines that might need to be replanted. We’re getting together with growers to plan the upcoming season and harvest. Come to think of it, there’s still plenty on our “to do” list!
Always top on our list is the search for the perfect B Cellars wine and food pairing. In our kitchen, with Chef Derick, or at home with our families, we are constantly trying out new combinations. “What are you making tonight?” “What are you opening tonight?” These are the top two questions that you’ll hear around B Cellars.
Whether you are trying out one of our featured recipes with this B Society allocation or you are able to visit us in Oakville, we hope that you will soon share in this grand experiment! And we’d love to hear from you. Tell us: what are you making tonight, and what are you opening to go with it?

Recipes
Wild Mushroom Soup
This wine makes an excellent companion to B Cellars Pinot Noir. The creaminess of the soup calms the wine’s natural acidity and elevates its bright fruit flavors. The earthy, forest floor notes in the Pinot Noir are met by the rich, earthy flavors in the mushrooms, providing consistency through the entire pairing.
BBQ Spare Ribs
Chef Derick Kuntz created this recipe specifically for B Cellars single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons. The ribs are a perfect partner to these wines, helping to soften the tannins while accentuating the vibrant, dark fruit flavor elements. Try this recipe with any of our Cabernet Sauvignons or bold, fruit-driven red wines.
