What came first the chicken or the egg is an age old question. In the case of the Good Earth Cooking School and Winery the question should be, what came first, the wine or the food? In this case it`s the food - 14 years of cooking schoolery came before the wines and the goal is to make food friendly wines that go with as much of their foods as possible. This is a Franc that spent 10 months in new French oak, has a nice smoky, tobacco and black cherry note on the nose and follows with smoky-cranberry and cassis on the palate. Good acidity allows it to be very food friendly. Price: $18.00 - Rating: *** 1/2
