Mark's Heirloom Tomato Salad Recipe

"Our Pinot Noir The Evening Standard goes well with this heirloom tomato salad. The contrast of the acidic tomatoes, peppery olive oil and creamy burrata is an excellent match.I like the crunchy grey sea salt from Brittany for this recipe, and I like to use chervil because its slight aniseed quality lends an interesting contrast to the tomatoes." - McEvoy Ranch Chef Mark Rohrmeier
