- 4 california chiles, dried, stemmed and seeded, and torn into 1-inch pieces
- 1 1/2 tsps adobo sauce (from canned chipolte chiles in adobo)
- 1 1/2 tsps balsamic vinegar

- coarse kosher salt, to taste

Directions
Tasting notes: The pomegranate sauce highlights the cranberry and cherry in the Pinot and the richness of the duck breast complements the earthy elements in the wine. A decadent and spicy partner for Pinot Noir.
Serena's tips: You can substitute chicken or pork for the duck breasts. For time management, you can also make the sauce up to a week beforehand.
