Food pairings

Osso Buco de veau braiséThe richness and depth of the braised veal will complement the body and tannins of a Red Mountain Cabernet, while the aromatic spices in the dish will echo any complex notes in the wine.
Côtelette d'agneau rôtie aux herbes finesThe savory character of lamb, enhanced by herbs, finds a natural partner in structured red wines. The wine's tannins will cut through the fat, and its fruit will harmonize with the lamb's inherent flavor.
Filet mignon sauce au poivre vertA tender cut of beef like filet mignon, especially with a peppery sauce, requires a wine with sufficient structure and fruit intensity to stand up to the dish without overwhelming it.
