A Spirited Marriage of Pork and Beef
"Chorizo is a pork and chili pepper sausage that adds a layer of spice to the tender cuts of pork and beef tenderloins.
The chili spices marry well with the oak and fruit flavors of the Black Box Pinot Noir.
My husband loved the chili and the Pinot Noir both in the chili and in the glass that accompanied it. He kept going back for more."
