WINE NOTES            Sullivan Vineyards Red Ink: One of the more interesting styles of wine coming from California is a meritage. Meritage (pronounced like ‘heritage’) is American-style Bordeaux red wine, usually cabernet sauvignon-based that is blended with different amounts of merlot, malbec, petite verdot and cabernet franc. This wine is full of blue/black fruits and very rich. Great with this chicken and the confit.

                                    Louis Latour Chablis La Chanfleure: Chablis is chardonnay from the Chablis region of Burgundy. The climate is fairly northern and the dry, stony land gives a distinct ‘green’ flavor to these wines -- full of flint and sour apple. Great with salted and cured fish and meat as a wine that takes the back seat to the dish.
