Project Foodie - Goosecross: Veal Piccata

Goosecross: Veal Piccata

Veal Piccata is a classic, yet Colleen from Goosecross Cellars has found room to improve with unusual additions such as dill weed! As Colleen says "Great wine calls for great food… I love to cook and develop new recipes, so I experiment in the kitchen every week".

Veal Piccata

From Colleen's Kitchen

Serves 2

8 boneless veal cutlets
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup Goosecross Sauvignon Blanc
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
1/8 teaspoon dill weed

Dredge veal cutlets in flour. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet. When it is hot, sauté the veal over medium-high heat until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a platter and keep warm. Add the wine and lemon juice to the skillet and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Add the salt, pepper, parsley, and dill. Pour the sauce over the veal, and serve immediately with Goosecross Sauvignon Blanc.

About Goosecross Sauvignon Blanc

Very mild days and cool nights followed the July heat wave, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and develop flavor intensity without accumulating too much sugar. Winemaker Geoff Gorsuch prefers a fresh, bracing vibrancy of style and it requires a watchful eye and careful timing to bring in grapes with full flavor maturity and the right balance of sugar to acid. He ferments the juice slowly, at low temperatures to bring out the fresh pear, zesty citrus and hint of grassiness. Light and vivacious on the palate, there's no oak to mask the exotic lemongrass, crisp green apple, ripe melon and a lingering grapefruit finish.
