WINE PAIRING
Château Edmond de la Fontaine, Pinot Noir Rouge
The roundness of this red wine and its morello cherry aromas add an extra dimension of warmth to an already comforting dish. A few notes of vanilla provide the perfect finishing touch, evoking fond memories of Sunday lunch at Grandma’s house.
