Pork Solyanka

This classic Russian sweet and sour stew was a huge hit at the 2014 Winter Wineland event where it was paired with our earthy Fog Veil Pinot Noir. We served it over white rice, but it’s also great all by itself! Can’t find the Fog Veil Pinot? Try this with our complex and savory Monterey Pinot.
