Tasting notes: We love roasted butternut squash with Pinot. The earthy elements of the squash highlight the earthyness in the Pinot and the sweetness of the squash plays to the red fruit flavors in Pinot.
Serena's tips: We have used cherries and cranberries in lieu of currants and that works well too. We also roasted the pieces of butternut squash that are not used in this recipe at the same time and use them in a salad or risotto.
