DOESN'T WORK
Kistler Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
Red, Still
Pairing Idea: This specific wine
The wine goes bitter. I initially thought stem-inclusion would work, but the extra tannin and texture in the wine from stems adds bitterness that is attractive in the wine on its own, but with the dish it's too bitter.
