Pan-Roasted Veal Chops with Cabernet Sauce

Pairing: Morandé Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon

One pairing rule is that the wine used to make a sauce will almost always be great to drink with the dish (use good wine, though). Cabernet Sauvignon is terrific with these meaty chops. Try one from South America—like this cherry-driven bottle from Chile's Maipo Valley.
