Ideal for Sprintime Gatherings. The cherry flavours of Strewn Two Vines Merlot wine come alive when matched with this mouth-watering recipe. (Strewn Two Vines Merlot VQA is a combination of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot has ripe plum and cherry aromas. This smooth and flavourful Ontario VQA wine is best with beef, pork and game.I have prepared and served this recipe on several occasions for ourselves and guests. The rhubard is a wonderful, slightly tart flavour, no need for apple sauce, and compliments the flavours and aroma of the selected wine.
