Recommended Wine Pairing from the Wine Experts at XE-54.
- White: Sterling Chardonnay – Napa, CA
The unoaked, crisp, fresh acidity of this wine pairs well with the creamy sauce and mushroom
- Red: Le Charmel Pinot Noir – France
The bright, fruit-forward, lightly oaked nature of this wine is great to cut the richness of the cream and a perfect way to enhance garlic-flavors.

I didn’t know there was a museum for Houdini, that’s cool! We have gone to some cool museums before but this one must have been a blast 🙂 We did go to a Jello museum before tho – yeah who knew right? We saw the signs for it on the NY thruway coming home from Niagara Falls.
Definitely have to try these meatballs, perfect for a busy night – which happens a lot here it seems!
