A gallery of 10 wines will be featured with each story. The wines are grouped by theme and directly related to the post. Every wine listed in this section is one I personally recommend and would purchase for my own cellar. Whenever possible, I will feature wines I have tasted over the course of a meal and know first hand how they pair with food and evolve in the glass over time. Prices are the average in the U.S. according to Wine-Searcher.
Old-vine cabernet franc grown in chalk and limestone soil, distinguished by dark fruit flavors, pine forest aromas, soft tannins, complexity, delicacy, and remarkable persistence.
