Aged Cabernet Series Wine Club
Roasted Tomato Bolognese with Wild Boar Sausage
To ward off the winter chill, we just love this hearty and filling dish. Wine club members will enjoy this recipe even more when paired with the Burgess Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon, one of this months' Aged Cabernet Series wines. The relaxed character of Cab will blend nicely with the robust spiciness of the wild boar, roasted tomatoes and Poblano chili peppers.
Ingredients
- 5 lbs garden fresh tomatoes, cut in half
- 1 large onion, peeled and cut into quarters
- 1 head garlic—peel and lightly bruise each clove with the flat of a knife
- 3 fresh Poblano chili peppers with seeds, cut in quarters
- 1 large summer squash, chopped
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 lb wild boar sausage*
- 1 cup basil leaves, chopped (save a sprig for garnish)
- 1/2 cup Italian parsley, minced (save a sprig for garnish)
- 1 lb linguini
- Parmigiano Reggiano, grated, for garnish
Preheat oven to 350°.
Place the tomatoes, onions, bruised garlic cloves, Poblano chili peppers, summer squash and rosemary sprig in a large baking pan. Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the vegetables along with a few good cracks of black pepper. Place in the oven uncovered for 1-2 hours until onions and garlic are soft and golden. The tomatoes will be just about liquid by then.
In the meantime, cook boar sausage in a griddle and set aside. Start your pasta water. When the roasted tomato mixture is done, remove rosemary sprig and puree in batches in your blender until smooth and transfer to a saucepan. Add cooked sausage to your sauce along with the basil and parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning with a little salt if necessary. When pasta water comes to a full boil, add a teaspoon of salt and then the linguini and cook until al dente.
To serve, place hot pasta on platter, pour wild boar Bolognese sauce over the top and garnish with Parmigiano and sprigs of basil and parsley.
*Use Italian sausage if you’re fresh out of wild boar. If you omit the sausage altogether, this recipe is a wonderful roasted Tomato sauce.

First off, I have to give you all major Kudos for having the Aged Cabernet Series. I am strictly a Cabernet Sauvignon drinker, and you guys have done nothing but met my highest expectations. When I signed up, I asked if there was anyway possible they could only send me Cabernet Sauvignon and your team gladly accommodated my request. I look forward to each shipment that arrives at my door, speaking of I got a shipment today that I am super eager to enjoy. Great job on a well run business.

We were excited when the inaugural Aged Cabernet Series shipment arrived. And we were not disappointed with the first bottle, the Joseph Phelps Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The rich, deep color and the full black cherry, smoky, smooth finish and soft tannins make this one of my favorite Cabs.
