K uses the prunings as a sort of tray at the bottom of a baking dish when he roasts pork. All the fat drains to the bottom.

My vigneronne always gives me a couple of litres to try. Of course it won't be for sale until last year's is finished. It's not to everyone's taste, but I adore two week old wine.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.com
