The Wine
2008 Mount Baker Vineyards Cabernet Franc Proprietor's Limited Release (Yakima Valley)
Rather than stick with the rule of thumb and grab out a Chardonnay to pair with pork, we decided to test out a Cabernet Franc. Cab Franc is more delicate than its Sauvignon cousin, so the thought was that it wouldn't overpower the food.
We picked this bottle up a couple days ago from Market Cellar Winery, where Mount Baker Vineyards and Winery currently has a tasting room set up, which we visited Saturday. We decanted the wine (in our brand-new decanter!) for 30 minutes while cooking the meal.
The Food
As eluded to, we had pork. More specifically, we had honey-glazed pork chops and squash. The recipe came from Everyday Food.
