Who doesn't love a little Cuban pork stew? The winter months are coming and I just got a hold of a great little wine bundle from Far Niente Winery. It includes a Cabernet, Pinot Noir, and of course their world famous chardonnay. I decided I'm gonna share some of my favorite Cuban recipes and pair then with these delicious wines. For this post I paired the 2015 En Route Pinot Noir with a Pork stew that's perfect for those chilly winter nights. If you want to follow along here's a link so you can order the Epicure three pack of Napa wine.
