Food Pairing

This is a food wine! Fatty foods help this wine to shine, think osso bucco, grilled beef, smoked pork. Get saucy with creamed oyster sauce, grilled chicken fettuccine, Bacon & green beans, duck with plum glaze, carne asada, and paella. Dessert could be aged Gouda or flourless chocolate torte.
