Exotic spice
Inspired by traditional Egyptian spice-nut-seed blends called dukkah, Gary & Kit's Napa Valley line has developed a trio of Dukkah Spice Blends: Classic Hazelnut, Savory Coconut and Toasted Sesame & Pistachio, with the hazelnut and coconut favored by our tasters. For snacking, dip bread in olive oil, then the spicy mix, or incorporate the blends into vegetables, salads, seafood and meats dishes. A set of three 2.5-ounce packets (one of each flavor) is $21 at cliffamilywinery.com.
