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.

Showing so well. Terrific balance, mind-blowing first nose and finale, berries, licorice, red berries and cherries, all put together with superb freshness. Such a joy!
