Pair with 2005 Bourassa Vineyards Petit Verdot

We asked chef, Elizabeth Binder, of Delicious Dishes, to pair all our wines this summer with sandwiches. We challenged her to find the perfect sandwich to go with the Bourassa Petit Verdot. You may be surprised at the results. So were we. However, we tested the recipe and the pairing and as usual, Elizabeth got it perfectly right!
