Duck Dinner

[Innkeeper]

Hi Vicki, and welcome to the wine board. The varietal Cabernet Franc was made for duck in my humble opinion. Look for offerings from the Loire Valley of France such as Chinon or Saumur-Champigny. You can find excellent examples of both for well under $30. If you can find an '03 it will have an overabundance of fruit that will handle the sauce.

I don't think the Glen Ellen Merlot would contribute much to the event. Enjoy it at home.
