About This Flight

Throughout the year, Lowes Foods’ globe-trotting wine purveyors are bringing their favorite labels back to the Carolinas. Each of these flights of wine are only available for a limited time and while bottles last.

This quarter we are featuring four labels from the Languedoc-Roussillon region in southern France.

COCHON VOLANT RED 2018

Pairings:

Pairs especially well with duck breast, roast pork, roast beef, and lamb chops.
