A Rustic Italian Reverie
An Invitation to Feast & Drink
February’s Rustic Italian Reverie Provisions Box draws inspiration from the rustic kitchens of Italy, where simple, time-honored ingredients are transformed through care and tradition. At Priest Ranch, we elevate that spirit through expressive Estate wines and thoughtful pairings that invite you to slow down and savor the moment.
This month’s menu brings together bold Puttanesca, bright shrimp “scampi,” and a crisp chicory salad — a balance of richness, freshness, and contrast designed to unfold naturally at the table. Each dish is paired with Grenache Blanc for vibrancy and lift, and Peacemaker, our Merlot–Cabernet Sauvignon blend, for depth and savory structure.
To round out the experience, Il Giardino Amaro, our zero-proof aperitivo-style mocktail, offers a layered, bittersweet alternative crafted to complement the meal. Like our wines, it’s built for balance, not sweetness — an intentional pairing that invites everyone to linger.
Rustic at heart. Refined by terroir.
A February feast shaped by heritage, place, and the pleasure of gathering.

Spaghetti Puttanesca
A classic Italian pasta driven by bold, briny character. Slow-simmered tomatoes form the foundation of a deeply savory sauce, layered with olives, caper berries, garlic, and anchovies. Tossed with spaghetti until every strand is perfectly coated, then finished with fragrant olive oil and freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano, this vibrant dish delivers balance, depth, and unmistakable personality.
