Food Pairing:  Buy a roasted chicken and shred half of the meat (approx. 2 cups).  Cook 2 cups (dry measured) penne pasta, boil and strain.  Add 1 cup heavy cream to a separate sauce pot and cook on medium-low heat to reduce it by half to thicken (approximately 4 minutes), add 4 oz goat cheese to the pot, 1 Tbls chopped rosemary, 1/2 cup parmesan and 1 tsp black pepper.  Enjoy!

Fun Facts:  Neu is German, meaning new, fresh, or young. The goal of Neu Cellars is to produce a focused and sound product that utilizes Midwestern fruit. During this project, they’ve fallen in love with Michigan grapes after not having any sort of expectations. The benefit of experimenting in an untapped region is the guarantee of surprise.
