We Love This With
Wines this spicy and ripe demand the equivalent in a meal. Becker Lane’s heritage breed, grass-fed pigs produce the best tasting spare ribs we’ve had in awhile, with succulent meat that amplifies the power of these otherwise graceful wines. Smoke this rack with salt, pepper and hickory chips, or slather on a special sauce and broil them in the oven. Either way, you’ll bring out the best in the meat as well as the wine.
