Italian Sausage & Potato Gnocchi

Gabrieau's Bistro, Antigonish, NS

This recipe for Italian Sausage & Potato Gnocchi featuring roasted red pepper, grilled fennel, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted garlic, wine, herbs, and goat cheese from Chef Mark of  Gabrieau’s Bistro in the quaint town of Antigonish is a fabulous pairing for Jost 4 Skins. The fruitiness and hint of residual sugar in 4 Skins balances the spice of the sausage and can also hold up to the sweet nature of the fennel and red pepper used in the dish.
