with Bobby Flay & Columbia Crest
Calling all cooks and wannabe chefs….
Think you can “throw down” with the best of them? Do you have a recipe that would pair like a charm with a Washington wine? Want to be flown to New York to compete for prizes, bragging rights and a chance to cook with Bobby Flay?
The “Flayvors of Washington” Video Recipe Contest might be right up your alley. That’s right, you also have to make a video featuring your culinary creation.
Chef and Food Network star, Bobby Flay is teaming up again this year with Columbia Crest Winery for their annual food and wine competition. This is how it works.
-You must submit an original recipe.
-Your recipe must use ingredients from Washington State.
-Your recipe must pair well with a Columbia Crest wine.
-Your entry must include a two minute video featuring your recipe.
The competition officially starts on April 13th, 2009. Contest rules will be posted April 13th. No early birds! All entries must be submitted by June 8th, 2009.
You can go to www.foodnetwork.com/columbiacrest or www.columbia-crest.com for more information and contest details. Again, the contest doesn’t start until April 13th, so the information won’t be posted until that day.
Teresa Ralston of New Albany, Ohio won last year’s competition with her recipe for Chicken Curry Burger with Crispy Prosciutto and Warm Apple Chutney. I’m hungry already! Click here for Teresa’s recipe. 
Teresa paired the dish with Columbia Crest’s 2006 Grand Estates Chardonnay. Unfortunately, 2006 is no longer available. So here are the tasting notes for Columbia Crest’s 2007 Chard.
Columbia Crest 2007 Grand Estates Chardonnay, $12.99
“Delicate aromas of apple and pear lead to notes of melon and creamy butter on the palate. The refined flavors of this Chardonnay cumulate in a lingering finish that gracefully balances sweet oak, caramelized sugar, and fruit.”-Ray Einberger, Winemaker
Columbia Crest started as a small winery in the Columbia Valley region of Eastern Washington State over 20 years ago. As the region matured into a world class wine growing area, Columbia Crest grew into one of the most respected wineries in the United States.
If you would like to visit Columbia Crest, they are located at Highway 221, Columbia Crest Drive, Paterson, Washington 99345. Call the winery at: 509-875-2061. Or visit online: www.columbia-crest.com.
