"Michael Myers, beverage director and sommelier in Charlotte, offers Blaufränkisch to diners who like complex wines with depth, describing the variety as a “dance between fruit and spice, brightness, and tannin” and recommending it for lovers of Cabernet Franc’s herbaceousness, Syrah’s aromatics, and Pinot Noir’s fruit; he also suggests pairing it with leaner cuts and green vegetables like asparagus." - Kate Dingwall
