Beef shoulder braised in red wine with green chard and pearl onions

Oysters and bubbles!

Rosé, late summer, place d’Armes, Orthez

Posted on

The end of September has been unseasonably warm in the southwest of France.  What better reason to enjoy an outside table and a glass of rosé ? This particular pour is from AOC Béarn, where the rosé is mostly made from the tannat grape, as are the full bodied reds.  Explains the juicy color!
