Wine Pairings
Pair it with: A complex blend of reds. A stylish blend of shiraz, merlot, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc, Clancy's delivers lashings of ripe forest berries, rich mocha and spicy oak. All in all, a great pairing for this sausage and veggie dish. Our pick: Peter Lehmann Clancy's Red Barossa, Australia, $18.
