Snoqualmie Wines

I’m very excited about working with Snoqualmie Wines. First, in case you aren’t familiar with their name, Snoqualmie is a city in the beautiful state of Washington, USA, just a bit east of Seattle.

And their grapes are grown in the Columbia Valley, WA. You know I love everything about the beautiful state of Washington. All the lush green, and beautiful scenery, all the nice people, and well, I could just go on and on.

I’m also excited about them because they have “quality wines through sustainable practices”.

“At Snoqualmie, we believe that extraordinary wines are the product of vineyard stewardship, sustainability, and a relationship with the local community. Our commitment to this philosophy has been the driving force behind our award-winning wines since 1983.” They also recently introduced sustainable packaging for their entire line of wines, and ship their wines nationally.

They sent me an assortment their wonderful wines including their ECO Riesling and Gewürztraminer which are produced from certified organically grown grapes in a certified organic facility (how cool is that!).

White wine adds flavor

The addition of the white wine to this Vegetarian Pot Pie sauce really helps it have lots of flavor; no boring dry vegetarian food here! The Snoqualmie Chardonnay will add a nice creamy buttery flavor or the Snoqualmie Sauvignon Blanc will add just the right brightness and crispness.

Whichever wine you choose to add to the sauce, that’s the best choice for pairing it to drink. I’m a white wine girl, so that’s always my first choice, and, Sauvignon Blanc is my favorite white.

Homemade Pot Pie

When I was a kid I loved those little pot pies that you get in the freezer section of the grocery store. I used to eat them all the time. But, alas, once you become vegetarian, those little convenience foods are hard to come by.

And, well, those store bough ones are often not all that great; most of them don’t even come close to the wonderful fresh flavors that are in my Mom’s Vegetarian Pot Pie. This is a wonderfully moist pot pie that’s filled with flavor and yummy goodness. All those veggies and that creamy sauce. This is a comfort dish that you’ll find yourself craving all the time, and it’ll end up on your regular meal rotation!

Make it vegan if you’d like

I’ve made this Vegetarian Pot Pie many times using different kinds of milk all the time, from whole dairy milk to lower fat dairy to plant-based milks. It’s always good. But, for classic comfort I recommend using whole milk. The full flavor and creaminess is just perfect for this Vegetarian Pot Pie.

Puff pastry

The puff pastry is so much fun! I like to sneak little pieces of it as I’m serving it up. All flaky and tender. And, it makes the Pot Pie very convenient to make. Just be sure to take the puff pasty sheet out of the freezer while you’re cooking the filling. Then, stretch it over the top of the 13×9-inch pan.

The sides that don’t touch the filling get all big and puffy and fun and impressive. The part that touches the filling stays smaller, so you get lots of visual interest in this as well.
