Local With Local: Grilled Strawberry-Duck-Goat Cheese Pizza with Corey Creek Vineyards 2006 Rose

This edition of the "Local With Local" project I've started has me working again with chef Doug Gulija from The Plaza Cafe in Southampton. This time, I'm even more excited because the dish truly was a collaborative effort.

I wanted to highlight Corey Creek Vineyards's 2006 Rose, which has been Nena's favorite rose this summer. I was served a strawberry goat cheese mousse at a rose launch party earlier in the summer, so I suggested that to chef as a starting point. He wanted to do something grilled, because he likes rose with grilled fare and the next thing you know, we had come up with this pizza.
