While the cool weather and early darkness of fall begin to descend, we thought it might be a fun time to take a look at a few old fashioned classic casserole dishes that have been given a touch of the modern and slightly gourmet – along with some of our favourite new fall wines recently released here in Ontario. From Green Bean Casserole to Turkey Tetrazzini, these recipes and pairings offer comfort with a dash of creativity – and will bring some fun to fall dining table over the days and weeks to come.
