Wine Pairings
Pair it with: A Rhône red The Rhône valley is a great choice for good-value wines. The grenache, syrah and mourvèdre blend makes for a sexy nose of spicy forest berries followed by soft tannins. Perfect with this pork dish. Our pick: Perrin Rèserve Côtes du Rhône, France, $18.
Tip: Best served with braised red cabbage.
