It’s a Paella Party for TWELVE!!

There are now countless regional variations, but the classic approach includes a combination of rice cooked with seafood, chorizo, and vegetables in a saffron broth. Spain's classic rice dish provides the perfect excuse for a late-summer feast. Spaniards swear that the best time to eat this highly flavorful rice dish is at lunch, because it provides the perfect segue to a siesta. But for your own party, it's no problem if the afternoon slips into dusk, your guests mingle, and you wait until dark before you enjoy the casual meal. Tonight, vintners Erin and Matt Cline, along with Valerie and Don Patterson will create a Paella Party for TWELVE in your home.
