Wine and Food – French Brasserie Food and Cabernet Franc
Old fashioned, classic French dishes such as herbed roasted chicken with roasted potatoes or steak au poivre with French fries make great matches with Cabernet Franc. The wine has just the right amount of weight, tannin, acidity, fruit, earthiness and … Continue reading
Wine and Food – Italian Dishes and Cab Franc

I ♥ Sushi with Bouké White Wine
I just read “The Feed Zone Cookbook/Fast and Flavorful Food for Athletes” by Biju Thomas and Allen Lim, looking for new food ideas for the end of a century ride. I found a lot of recipes based on rice, an … Continue reading
Bouké Meets The Chocolate Nation
I just met thechocolatenation.com, an online marketplace for premium quality domestic artisanal chocolates. The Dark Chocolate Truffle Fudge Bites with French Sea Salt, made by John Kelly Chocolates, were exceptional with Bouké Red Wine, a fruit-forward wine with chocolate notes … Continue reading
