Five wines. Four Vintages. Three Countries. Two Continents. One grape. Behold the "voluptuous beast" that is Cabernet Franc. Join us as we linger over a 2022 Catherine et Pierre Breton Les Beaux Monts Chinon, a 2012 Clos Rougeard Saumur-Champigny Le Bourg, a 2022 Two Wolves Estate Vineyard Cabernet Franc, a 2023 Glen Manor Vineyards Cabernet Franc, and a 2020 Le Macchiole Paleo Rosso. Whether you're pairing with an aged gouda, pepper salami or a good therapy session, you're gonna love this grape!

Postscript: Wow, did those wines evolve in the glass! We kept tasting after the mics were turned off, and they were all amazing and different an hour later.

Cheers to our friends Leslie and Jenn for tasting with us, and to Jimi for being our chef on the night! To Cassie Gonce at Glen Manor for the tasting notes, Ray Isle for the Breton recommendation, and vicariously for the Le Macchiole Paleo Rosso recommendation, to Alecia Moore and the Two Wolves Tribe for the Charly Foucault and Clos Rougeard story.
