My mom is the queen of baking! She makes cobblers and pies and all kinds of fun desserts, but what she does best... !!! She makes chocolate crinkle, pumpkin chocolate chip, regular chocolate chip, pie crust, and so many more! And not just at the holidays either. About once a month we get a plate full of yumminess! Thanks for all you do Mom! Today is also

It's #CabFrancDay and I'm here for it.  The selection of the night is the San Carlos Cabernet Franc by Catena (sample) . This Argentine delight is such a sexy red that when I took a sip, I said "Oooh".  It comes in on the palate with blackberries, vanilla, oak, and cherries. It's an orgy of flavors in the mouth and it hits the spot. The wine is only around $19.99 and perfect for a nice home cooked meal. I'l be pairing with pepperoni pizza and garlic notes from Two Boot Pizza in NYC.  It's the perfect pairing. Don't sleep on wine form Argentina. Get it in your rotation. Thanks to Lori Budd, the founder of #CabFrancDay for getting me excited to spend more time with  wines featuring Cabernet Franc.  Check out my interview with her on my Instagram (right next to this post), LinkedIn, Facebook, Periscope or Twitter. We also geeked out a little on Supernatural. That's how we witches roll.  So, what's in your glass? Cheer. 🍷 #cabernetfranc #witchonwine #culinaryhistorian #argentina #argentina🇦🇷 #yolandashoshana #lifestyle #argentine #wineporn #catena #vino #pompette #redwine #gastronomy #quaintrelle #culinary (at Boogie Down Bronx) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIZNDxyj1Qh/?igshid=r45j55oy8j23

Celebration Cab Franc Day December 4, 2020

Cabernet Franc is a good red wine to pair with our foods. But what are its origins? To do that, we have to go to France to figure out what Cab Franc Day is all about!

History of Cab Franc Day

Cabernet Franc is believed to have been established in the Libournais region of southwest France sometime in the 17th century, when Cardinal Richelieu transported vine cuttings to the Loire Valley.

They were planted at the Abbey of Bourgueil under the care of an abbot named Breton, whose name became associated with the grape. By the 18th century, plantings of Cabernet Franc (known as Bouchet) were found throughout Fronsac, Pomerol, and St. Emilion making quality wines.

As Cabernet Sauvignon grew more popular in the 18th and 19th century, the close similarity of the two grapes was observed and theories emerged as to the extent of their relationship.

In 1997, DNA evidence emerged to show that Cabernet Franc had crossed with Sauvignon blanc to produce Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Franc is one of the major black grape varieties worldwide. It is principally grown for blending with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in the Bordeaux style, but can also be vinified alone as in the Loire 19s Chinon.

Cabernet Franc is lighter than Cabernet Sauvignon, making a bright pale red wine that contributes finesse and lends a peppery perfume to blends with more robust grapes. Depending on the growing region and style of wine, additional aromas can include tobacco, raspberry, bell pepper, cassis, and violets.

Records of Cabernet Franc in Bordeaux go back to the end of the 18th century, although it was planted in Loire long before that time. DNA analysis also indicates that Cabernet Franc is one of two parents of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Carmenere.

How to celebrate Cab Franc Day

To celebrate Cab Franc Day, we would have a glass of Cabernet Franc while having a wonderful home cooked meal. Pairing a fine wine like Cabernet Franc with a home cooked meal is not only a good way to spend an evening, but it is also a good way to make an evening date all more romantic.

We would also use the Cabernet Sauvignon when throwing a house party so we can all raise our glasses to our successes and our loved ones. When the party has settled down, it 19s a great wine to have while chatting with friends and family.

A father and son collaboration, @SteeleWines 2016 Writer’s Block Cabernet Franc is medium-bodied with supple mouthfeel, boasting ripe blackberry, plum, and black cherry flavors that lead into a round, smooth finish. Excellent value for the money at $17—I plan to enjoy the remainder with the baby-back ribs and burgers I’m smoking this weekend while cheering #GoPats! BTW, #CabFrancDay (Dec 4th) peeps may want to get a jump on this one before it sells out.
