Pan Seared Duck Breast with Pomegranate Reduction paired with Pallazzo Cab Franc for #CabFrancDay

 I received samples for the purpose of tasting and reviewing wine for Cab Franc Day.  I received no monetary compensation.  All opinions are strictly my own.  

Did you know that there is a day set aside to enjoy Cabernet Franc wine?  It's true.  This traditional blending grape from the Bordeaux region is gaining notoriety for being a stand alone grape in wine that is deep, dark and lovely.  We celebrate this wine on December 4th each year.

I know that the celebration is still a week away, however, I wanted to share this wine with you and invite you to pop open a bottle of Cab Franc and join us on December 4th at 8 PM ET for twitter chat as we discuss this interesting varietal.
