Renegade Wine dinner series at Rebelle NYC presented by sommelier Patrick Cappiello. Focus was on Cab Franc: 15 wines paired with 5 courses. Posting a few favorites.

I lost my notes but remembered really enjoying this and how balanced it was on both the savory/fruit profile as well as the tannin/acid front.

Second vintage of this domaine. Drinking nicely now. A little green around the edges, but I like that with Cabernet Franc.

Too good to open late night but it was Easter so I don't feel too bad about it.

Serious Cab Franc. Black fruit, iron, and bramble. A little tight right now, this will be sensational in a few years, though amazing right now
