Catawba and White Cheddar Omelet with Pancetta and Red bell peppers

 

 

The wine and recipe of the week is Catawba (kuh-tah-buh)  and White Cheddar Omelet with Pancetta and Red bell peppers .

 

Catawba is an Overland Park semi-dry wine by Aubrey Vineyards.

 

You don’t see many wines of its color but the gorgeous light orange color is actually the original Catawba grape coloring after wine production.

 

Catawba has light aromas of honey and pear, with a blood orange finish. It’s a "foxy" wine perfect to pair with a heavy brunch.
