In celebration of Varnum Vintners’ Fall 2025 Wine Club release, we’ve crafted six DockBox dishes designed to complement each featured wine. Inspired by the pairing notes and the shared spirit of craftsmanship between Local Ocean and Varnum, these dishes highlight Oregon seafood, seasonal ingredients, and global flavors that bring the wines to life.
Suggested pairing: 2019 Gran Reserva Tempranillo
Classic Mexican custard dessert, with a Local Ocean twist. This seasonal Fall version incorporates roasted acorn squash, blended into a vanilla custard base, with candied pepitas and caramel sauce. This is a rich, luxurious treat!
