Tasting notes: The bright fruit and savory elements on the Transverse absolutely echo the beautiful spices in this dish. They play together well and enhance each other.

Serena's tips: Serve this with a really delicious bread to soak up any extra sauce. Pull the cinnamon stick and bay leaf out before serving.  We did spinach with it and loved how it brought out the earthiness in the Pinot.
