Wine Paired Recipe by CH Wine.

Perfect pairing for cozy winter evenings, try pairing this with candles or a warm crackling fire in the fireplace along with one of our red wines. We enjoyed this tremendously with Cameron Hughes Wine Lot 894 2020 Columbia Valley Merlot both for braising and pairing.
