Tasting notes: Winter squash with mushrooms screams for Pinot noir. We love the bright fruit Pinot noir brings to curry recipes!

Serena's tips: This definitely makes 4 servings, not 6. You can choose to roast the squash for 20 minutes at 400 degreees instead of cooking it on the stove. Definitely use full fat coconut milk because ti makes the texture much better. In step 3, we cook the garlic with the shallots.
