Snug Harbor Wine

Chicken Thighs with Farro

Serves 4

What to Pair With

This is a hearty and flavorful dish, so serve it with a complex wine. This week we feature a Pinot Noir from Serodes and Kovac ‘Tacherons’, a southern French wine. The nose is full with cherry, spicy, leafy and mushroom notes. The wine has good acidity with the same peppery-cherry notes and a medium body. The wine is aged in minimal oak so has a fresh and clean finish.

Enjoy!
