Cab Franc and Brussel Sprouts

Last nght we had a great dinner & evening at our local favorite, boon eat + drink. We ordered a 'must have' starter, brussel sprouts, to share while we were welcoming the evening with our Vineyard Owner friends from Alegria Vineyard.
Mat brought a tank sample of the 2012 Alegria Vinyard Cab Franc that's getting bottling next week. As the brussel sprouts arrived we were in discussion &tasting of the Cab Franc & I tasted the brussel sprouts & WOW, an incredible pairing. As everyone at the table followed suit & agreed, we called owner Crista Luedtke to the table to taste our newest foodie discovery, who knew?
We're bottling the 2012 Cab Franc & will be releasing in our Tasting Room sometime this spring.

If you like Cab Franc & like brussel sprouts, you're going to LOVE this pairing. Recipe available on boon eat + drink web site.
