Cabernet Franc shines as a varietal wine, serving up finesse and structure, with smooth tannins and a refreshing acidity.
Plus, expect a few bites like cheese and charcuterie to balance your sips! Gather your friends, bring a date, or come solo and mingle with other wine lovers - it's wine o'clock...
