Wine Pairings

Pair it with: An intense red.
This California take on the well-known Argentine malbec grape brings a mass of juicy berry fruit with considerable spice intensity. The juiciness of the nose is echoed in the mouth, making for a lovely sipper with these pork noodles.
Our Pick: Red Rock Malbec, California, $17.
