Peruvian Ceviche and Popcorn
Recipe by Greg Cramer of MarshAnne Landing in Oakland, Oregon
"My mother created this recipe while living in Ecuador on my father's U.S. State Department assignment for the USAID (United States Agency for International Development). My mother followed her Peruvian cook around the kitchen taking notes and trying to emulate the creation and flavors of this ceviche. What follows is a delicious interpretation strongly influence by Peru's contribution to the popcorn scene. I have been makng this recipe for over 30 years! (Is this really possible?)" -Greg Cramer, MarshAnne Landing owner

ABOUT THE WINERY
Owners Greg and Fran Cramer of MarshAnne Landing, a small family-run winery and vineyard located in the heart of the Umpqua Valley in Southern Oregon, produce food-friendly wines - Syrah, Grenache, Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
The tasting room, which now houses an artist gallery, is located at the site of a former stagecoach stop in the rolling hills north of Roseburg.
The not-so-subtle connection to Martian Landings and flying saucers is purely intentional. The Cramers want their wines to be delicious and "out of this world."
