A great combination! Dittmers merguez, potato pancakes and roasted romanesco went with this olive and dark fruit Cab Franc perfectly. Why do we try and pair over ripe Rhone with merguez when we know that we don't like it? Let there be acid!

Great purity here (and lots of flavor too). One of my favorite Loire producers. Will be buying more...

All tartness, acid and super thin fruits. Underripe pomegranate. Not fun.
