This National Wine Day, (RED) is proud to announce the launch of our latest collaboration with—you guessed it—a wine partner! Laithwaites is a family-owned wine curation and delivery service founded in 1969 and each year, the team’s wine experts scour the world’s wine regions and taste over 40,000 wines, selecting just 2% of them to share with customers.

Laithwaites and (RED) are partnering to help fight pandemics and the injustices that enable them to thrive. We’ve curated a limited-edition case of groundbreaking wines that are transforming the wine world through their innovation and daring with remarkably delicious and award-winning results.  Laithwaites will match 15% of the purchase price from every (LAITHWAITES)ᴿᴱᴰ wine case as a donation to (RED) to support its efforts in bringing life-saving healthcare programs to communities most in need. Each bottle in the Ground Breakers wine box tells a story, so let’s take a closer look!

9 bottles of red, white, and rose (LAITHWAITES)ᴿᴱᴰ wine lined up on a white background

Amandla ‘Our Future’ Sauvignon Blanc 2023, Greater Cape, South Africa

Amandla, meaning “power within us” in the local Zulu dialect, is created by a team that is 100% black and 100% female. Praisy Dlamini, their brilliant winemaker, has 15 vintages under her belt, and was the first woman admitted to the Cape Winemakers Guild. A glass of Our Future is thrillingly crisp, with notes of ripe passion fruit, pineapple and lemon zest.

w/o Nero d’Avola Rosato 2022, Sicily, Italy

While most wine descriptions will tell you what’s in the wine, “w/o” (which stands for “without”) highlights what is not in the wine, namely harmful chemicals. With an emphasis on sustainability, w/o is organically grown, vegan and bottled in striking 100% recycled ‘wild’ glass bottles with minimal labeling and no foil capsule. This dry rose is light and crisp, with hints of raspberry, grapefruit and peach.

RedHeads 1888 Cabernet Sauvignon 2022, Australia

RedHeads 1888 Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted entirely by hand in a solar-powered facility by a small team of dedicated Australian winemakers. The wine rests for 21 months in French and American oak barrels, imparting toasty vanilla-spice notes to its lusciously ripe black currant and blackberry flavors.

Château La Clarière 2021, France

This award-winning Bordeaux emerges from a small château owned & run by the Laithwaites family in France’s Castillon region. Dive into this full-bodied blend of Merlot with a dash of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, aged 16 months in fine oak barrels. We wouldn’t judge you if you wanted to enjoy this delicious bottle as soon as the case arrives, but it will also age beautifully over the next decade.

Hole in the Clouds Sauvignon Blanc 2022, Marlborough

Hole in the Clouds hails from the Golden Mile (the Marlborough region’s original and best vineyard strip) in New Zealand. This classic Sauvignon Blanc boasts bold tropical fruit aroma, with fresh citrus and cut-grass characters. Enjoy a glass on its own or with food (goat cheese, shellfish or salads would all be tasty), this vibrant white is sure to poke a hole in your clouds and let the sunshine through.

The Inaugural R Collection by Raymond Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2020, California

This hugely popular Cab is a longtime Laithwaites top seller, with over 14,000 fave clicks. Crafted by head winemaker Stephanie Putnam and vineyard owner Jean-Charles Boisset, this proprietary blend boasts layers of ripe plum and cherry, plus a velvety texture and long, chocolatey finish.

Le Secret des Etoiles Pinot Noir 2022, France

A Pinot Noir from the south of France? Indeed! This food-friendly Pinot is silky-smooth, offering aromas of intensely ripe strawberry, cherry and wild herbs, with touches of toasty vanilla spice from aging in fine Burgundian barrels. While it’s actually quite popular, sipping on this Noir will make you think you’ve discovered a best-kept secret. Don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone.

Capisco Ribolla Gialla Spumante NV, Italy

“Capisco” is Italian for “I understand.” After a glass of Capisco, you may be uttering these words yourself as you see the world a little more clearly through a fresh and complex lens. The piquant Capisco rolls over the tongue with tingly dryness, invigorating taste buds and impressing guests. Trust us, this is the most excited you’ll feel about bubbles in a long time, but you’ll have to try it to truly Capisci.

Selva del Moro Chianti Classico Riserva 2019, Italy

If you could bottle Tuscan luxury and sustainability, it might come in this bottle of Chianti. Made with organically farmed Sangiovese grapes in the heartland of Chianti this medium- to full-bodied red bursts with intense cherry, blackberry and plum notes, plus it’s aged 18 months in fine oak barriques that impart hints of sweet tobacco and cocoa.

We’re thrilled about the mouthwatering (LAITHWAITES)ᴿᴱᴰ Ground Breakers box and hope you’ll raise a glass with us as we celebrate the wine and this exciting new partnership!

Mains

Sous Vide Smoky Barbecued Baby Back Ribs 

Ingredients:

  • 2 Full racks of baby back pork ribs (about 4 ½ pounds total) cut in half
  • Kosher salt 
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 Cups of barbecue sauce 
  • 4 Tablespoons liquid smoke
  • White sandwich bread, for serving 
  • Dill pickles, for serving 

Directions: 

  • Step 1: Set the (ANOVA)ᴿᴱᴰ Precision Ccooker to 145°F.
  • Step 2: Season ribs with salt and pepper and divide between 4 vacuum sealed bags. Add ¼ cup barbeque sauce and 1 tablespoon liquid smoke into each bag. Seal the bags using the water immersion technique or a vacuum sealer on the moist setting. 
  • Step 3: Place bags in the water bath and set the timer for 20 hours. Cover the water bath with plastic wrap to minimize water evaporation. Add water intermittently to keep the ribs submerged. 
  • Step 4: When the timer goes off, remove the bags from the water bath. Remove the ribs from the bags and transfer to a foil-lined broiler-safe baking sheet. Heat broiler to high. 
  • Step 5: Brush ribs with the remaining 1 cup barbeque sauce. Broil until the sauce just begins to caramelize, about 5 minutes. 
  • Step 6: Serve ribs with white bread, pickles, and additional barbecue sauce. 

Sous Vide BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

Ingredients: 

  • 2 (12 to 16 Ounce) bone-in chicken breasts
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 Cup of barbecue sauce
  • ¼ Cup of mayonnaise
  • ¼ Cup of sour cream
  • ¼ Cup of sliced scallions
  • 1 Tablespoon of Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Teaspoon of honey 
  • 1 (14 Ounce) bag of coleslaw
  • 4 Sandwich buns 

Directions: 

  • Step 1: Set the (ANOVA)ᴿᴱᴰ Precision Cooker to 150°F.
  • Step 2: Season the chicken breasts liberally with salt and pepper. Place in a large zipper lock bag with ½ cup of barbecue sauce. Seal the bag using the water immersion technique and place in the water bath. Set the timer for 1 hour.
  • Step 3: Once the timer goes off, remove the bag from the water bath. Remove the chicken from the bag and let it rest for 10 minutes. Reserve the cooking liquid.
  • Step 4: Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred into bite-size pieces. Discard the bones and skin. In a large bowl, toss the chicken with the remaining barbecue sauce and reserved cooking liquid. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Step 5: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, scallions, mustard, vinegar, and honey. Add the coleslaw mix and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Step 6: Divide the chicken between the buns, top with coleslaw and serve. 

BBQ Pulled King Trumpet Mushroom Sandwich

Ingredients: 

  • 4 Large king trumpet (or king oyster) mushrooms
  • ½ Head of green cabbage 
  • ¼ Red onion
  • 1 Large carrot
  • 1 Pack of brioche (or vegan) buns
  • ½ Lime
  • Smoked paprika
  • Cayenne pepper 
  • Garlic salt
  • Kosher salt
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Olive oil
  • Your preferred BBQ sauce

Directions:

  • Step 1: Set the (ANOVA)ᴿᴱᴰ Precision Cooker to 180°F.
  • Step 2: Shred the mushrooms with a form until they have a stringy texture.
  • Step 3: Put the mushrooms in a mixing bowl and add a generous amount of smoked paprika, garlic salt, and cayenne pepper. The level of each spice is entirely up to your taste, but keep in mind the paprika will add a smoky depth and the cayenne will add a kick!
  • Step 4: Add a few pours of olive oil to evenly coat and distribute the spices into your pulled mushrooms. The best method to incorporate everything is to hand mix the pulled mushrooms, spices, and olive oil in a large mixing bowl.
  • Step 5: Once all of the spices and oil are incorporated, bag the mushrooms and place them into the water bath for 1.5 hours
  • Step 6: While the mushrooms are cooking, get your simple citrus slaw started by thinly slicing the cabbage/red onion, and shredding or peeling a whole carrot.
  • Step 7: Add a dash of salt, and massage firmly by hand until the mixture begins to soften up and releases a slight bit of moisture.
  • Step 8: Add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and the juice of half a lime before mixing thoroughly by hand. Make sure to evenly distribute the liquids for a consistent taste!
  • Step 9: As the mushrooms near the 1.5 hour mark, preheat a cast iron skillet on high with a generous amount of high smoke oil applied to it. When your mushroom mixture is done in the sous vide, pull it out of the water bath and drain thoroughly before transferring to the cast iron skillet. Move the mushrooms around with tongs while searing to evenly blacken the edges. After about 4 minutes, add in a healthy serving of your favorite BBQ sauce to evenly coat. Once you feel the sauce is evenly distributed and up to heat, pull all the mushrooms off and into a serving bowl.
  • Step 10: Add the mushrooms and the simple citrus claw onto a toasted bun and enjoy!

  3. Remove any silverskin from the pork. Slice the pork lengthwise into 7 to 8 strips. Cut the strips into different thicknesses for a better mosaic look. 
  4. Microplane the orange zest over the pork. Sprinkle the spices over the pork, then roll the pork in the spices, making sure each piece is well coated. 
  5. Run a wet towel over a clean work surface to make it damp. Lay two large pieces of plastic wrap (slightly overlapping each other) over the damp surface. 
  6. Lay the prosciutto slices (slightly overlapping each other) on top of the plastic wrap.
  7. Stack the pork perpendicular to the end of the prosciutto and, using the plastic wrap, roll the prosciutto tightly around the pork. Tie the ends of the plastic wrap to keep the pork in a cylinder shape.
  8. Seal the pork in a vacuum seal bag, transfer to the water bath, and cook for 3 hours.
  9. Meanwhile, make the sauce: Finely chop the parsley, thyme, shallot, and garlic and transfer to a medium bowl. Segment and dice the orange, then add it to the bowl. Stir in the olive oil, vinegar, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. 
  10. Remove the pork from the vacuum seal bag and pat dry with paper towels. 
  11. Coat the bottom of a large skillet with vegetable oil and place over medium-high heat. When the oil just starts to smoke, add the pork and sear, rotating every 20 to 30 seconds, until browned on all sides. 
  12. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 3 to 4 minutes. Carve and serve with the chimichurri.

Tickets for the interactive event are limited, so if you haven’t snagged a ticket yet, be sure to grab one before they sell out! 100% of proceeds from every ticket sold go to the Global Fund’s COVID Response.

Hominy with Pico de Gallo 

“This is a hearty, rich side dish, and is a great way to use leftover pico de gallo. I originally developed this at Centrico, where I served it with a roasted half chicken. But with its oregano flavor, and its simplicity and versatility, it can go with just about anything. For this recipe, look for canned hominy, which is very easy to find. You want the whole, big kernels; “dry hominy” is split into smaller pieces and doesn’t cook the same way. Just be sure to wash it well after draining the solution in the can.”

Ingredients:

  • 4 heaping cups drained hominy (from about three 15-ounce/440 g cans) 
  • 1 small white onion, finely chopped, divided 
  • 2 medium ripe tomatoes, cored and finely chopped 
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced, plus more for serving 
  • 1 jalapeño or serrano pepper, grated or minced 
  • 1⁄2 cup (20 g) fresh cilantro, chopped 
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice 
  • 2 teaspoons dried Mexican oregano, divided 
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt 
  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed or vegetable oil 
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 
  • 4 strips bacon, diced 
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 

Directions:

  1. 1. Rinse the hominy well, spread it in a single layer, and blot dry. 
  2. 2. Make the pico de gallo: In a mixing bowl, combine half of the onion with the tomatoes, green onions, pepper, cilantro, lime juice, 1 teaspoon of the dried oregano, and salt. 
  3. 3. Make the hominy: In a large skillet (preferably cast iron), heat the oil and butter over medium heat. Meanwhile, line a plate with paper towels. When the butter stops bubbling, add the bacon and let it render its fat, stirring only occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes. When it gets crispy, use a slotted spoon to transfer it to the lined plate, leaving the fat behind. 
  4. 4. To the pan add the reserved onion and remaining 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Sauté these for about 5 minutes, until the onion is golden and soft. Stir in the fresh oregano and garlic and cook for about a minute before folding in the hominy. Cook for another minute or two, until the hominy browns lightly along the edges, then add the bacon. 
  5. 5. With a slotted spoon, scoop all but 1⁄2 cup (120 g) of the pico de gallo into the pan, allowing excess juice to drain into the bowl. Adjust the heat to medium-high for a minute or two, until the juice reduces. Serve warm, garnished with the remaining pico de gallo and sliced green onions. 

Aarón’s Guacamole: 

Ingredients: 

  • 4 avocados 
  • 1 white onion 
  • 2-3 roma tomatoes 
  • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro 
  • Juice of 3 limes 
  • 1 Serrano chile 
  • Pinch of sea salt 
  • 1/3 cup Queso Fresco or Queso Cotija 
  • 1 radish, sliced 
  • (Optional) 1/3 cup dried Chapulines 
  • (Mexican grasshoppers), toasted with a bit of chili powder, lime juice, and salt 

Directions:

  1. 1. Create a flavor base blending the serrano chile, cut in chunks and keeping the seeds, into a paste. Mix with 1/2 of the onion, a generous heap of cilantro and the lime juice. 
  2. 2. Cut the avocados in half and remove the seeds. Place in a bowl. 
  3. 3. Season the avocados with salt and oregano, and then mash them all together. Do not mash too smooth. 
  4. 4. Flavor the guacamole with the serrano purée to taste. 
  5. 5. Add finely chopped onion and tomatoes to the guacamole and combine. Season to taste with more salt. 
  6. 6. Serve with a pinch of queso fresco or queso cotija and sliced radishes. 
  7. For authentic Mexican flavor try adding a spoonful of dried Chapulines. 

Bananas Faustos 

Serves 4 

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons Dulce de Leche (store purchased or make-your own, recipe below) 
  • 3 bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise, then crosswise 
  • 1⁄4 cup spiced rum 
  • Vanilla ice cream (optional) 
  • Fresh mint leaves and confectioners’ sugar (optional), for garnish 

Directions:

  1. 1. Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the Dulce de Leche and mix with a heatproof rubber spatula until they’re well combined.
  2. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring often. 
  3. 2. Add the banana slices, stir to coat them, and cook for 3 minutes more. 
  4. 3. Take the pan off the heat, stir in the rum, and return the pan to the heat. Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring well to coat the bananas with the sauce. 
  5. 4. Transfer the bananas and sauce to plates or spoon them over vanilla ice cream. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and confectioners’ sugar, if desired. 

Dulce de Leche: 

Makes about 3 cups

Ingredients:

  • Two 14-ounce cans sweetened condensed milk

Directions:

  1. 1. Pour the milk into the top of a double broiler and put it over a pot of barely simmering water. Keep the water gently simmering for 2 hours, adding more hot water as the water evaporates. You don’t have to start stirring until the milk begins to thicken, but once it does, after about 30 minutes, stir ever 15 minutes or so. After 2 hours (if you want it even darker and funkier, keep cooking for another hour!), the milk will be all oozy and golden brown. 
  2. 2. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month. 

Freshest Margarita: 

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Milagro Tequila 
  • 1 whole lime—to be cut in half and juiced fresh

  • Sea salt 

Directions:

  1. 1. Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker 
  2. 2. Add ice and shake well 
  3. 3. Strain over fresh ice in an Old-Fashioned glass
  4. 4. Garnish with a lime wheel and pinch of sea salt
