Recipe Intro From holasus

Oven fries paired with Wine? Yes please! Now many wines would be good pairings for this heavenly dish by @holasus given the herbs, fruit and dairy garnishes but to be truly spectacular? Opt for an earthy red like Pinot Noir or a light bodied Cabernet (meaning it's grown in a cooler, more coastal climate.)
