Pate at Vera

"Our new Cassoulet is racking up fans, who are enjoying it paired with the 2010 Domaine des Tours, Grenache blend, Vin de Pays de Vaucluse, France From the storied Reynaud family, this wine is a revelation in what traditional vineyard management and winemaking practices can achieve. Lush and rustic at once, with olives, black pepper, pedigreed tannins" at Webster's Wine Bar

“Confit of Duck Raviolo. Rapini, Pine Nut, Toasted Butter. Hungry?” at A10
