A rustic (and quick) homemade tomato sauce is the secret to this memorable meal
L’Imparfait Négociant Famille Pinot
A collaboration between Hinterland in Ontario’s Prince Edward County and Dave McMillan of Joe Beef in Montreal, L’Imparfait is a micro-label focused on nothing-added, nothing-taken- away natural wines. This exuberant blend of equal parts pinot noir, pinot meunier, pinot gris and gewürztraminer is a surprisingly pale garnet that’s lean and mean—all high-toned florals, sour cherries and fine tannins, with a long finish. The slightly volatile acid lifts this light-bodied red into heavenly terroir, especially when chilled. Pork pairs well with white, red or, in this case, both! $30, Hinterland Wine.
