Wine & Fire: Heat up the Season in Salem
Nosh

Sit next to friends in posh booth seats beside a fire at Bentley’s Grill and order a fresh-baked pepperoni, soprasada and prosciutto topped-pizza with fontina and whole milk mozzarella. Or try a dish of herb –rubbed chicken finished with a brandy sage sauce, served over French onion scalloped potatoes – pair this with a glass of Pudding River Chardonnay. Finish off your feast with a dark chocolate marquise with hazelnut anglaise and local berry sauce paired with a glass of Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley Vineyards.
