BLACKBERRY AND APPLE BRAISED GREENS

Blackberry and Apple Braised Greens paired with Dreaming Tree Pinot Noir

Chef Fiona prepared her Blackberry and Apple Braised Greens for Dave Matthews Band and crew in Bristow, VA. Mildly sweet, with just a flash of spice, this dish is the perfect accompaniment to any meal. At home, we recommend pairing the dish with the Dreaming Tree Pinot Noir.
