Salt and pepper to taste
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
¾ cup small pasta (shells or bow tie)
4 cups chopped greens, such as kale, Swiss chard (or both!)

Vines on the Marycrest
2014 Syrah "Round Midnight"

Round Midnight is back. A big, rich expression of Syrah in this GSM blend with nice structure and depth. Try pairing this with spicy sausage and an aromatic cheese fondue. It displays a classic Syrah nose of white pepper, black fruit with some floral notes on the mid-palate. This wine opens up nicely and loves to be decanted!
