This factor creates herbaceous flavors that is a natural defense against pests. &nbsp; It\u2019s an aromatic compound that normally has a waxy, sweet, nutty taste.&nbsp; However, these same compounds are responsible for the green bell pepper notes in Cabernet Franc.&nbsp; When you taste a cold climate Cabernet Franc, (and the Brix doesn\u2019t get high enough) or if the yield is cut back, you will definitely smell green bell pepper.&nbsp; Cabernet Franc is growing all around the base of the Alps in Northern Italy and Eastern France.&nbsp; It\u2019s awful, unless you are enamored with drinking green bell peppers.&nbsp; I mean to each his own, right?&nbsp; I can\u2019t tell you not to like it.&nbsp; But if you do enjoy it, you\u2019re a few tastebuds shy of a mouth. Anyway, this isn\u2019t how Cabernet Franc was intended to be enjoyed.&nbsp; It\u2019s a warm climate grape from the Basque region.&nbsp; If my hypothesis is correct, Europe was warmer when Cabernet Franc spread throughout Europe.&nbsp; It certainly wasn\u2019t warmer between 1400-1600\u2019s during the Little Ice Age.&nbsp; And, it had to have been warm for three years after planting for Cabernet Franc to have survived.&nbsp; For each frost after dormancy, it dies back an inch.&nbsp; When a plant is established, it can survive, but not when a plant is young.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">For lighter Cabernet Francs, pair with a gorgonzola cheese on a Charcuterie plate.&nbsp; Gorgonzola Cheese and unskimmed cow\u2019s milk cheese that is a soft blue cheese from Northern Italy.&nbsp; It has a soft texture with a buttery sharp bite that is not over powered by the acidity in Cabernet Franc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXd5sSzmteIqNAoFZQT6hG2d8FKu8azPfRKoNiLScdU98-JEc6t8Ri0-VEBdd2wz4-8B-aqbPlAicHRUNSgfu9MCcoItD_awFX-LY1MdEyqiM34V1kDF8F_WqBlWwx4opdMiJtFgTQnjhnEuhJsZnp2qGto8GXEHqJpPHj5juWG35qDyNsv6IQk?key=8Q3cAqDSRXtEMNA9UUAf-A\" alt=\"Gorgonzola Cheese | Good Cooking\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Because Cabernet Franc has medium+ acidity, it pairs well with tomato-based dishes.&nbsp; The medium plus tannin would also allow it to pair well with heavy meat dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXdsG-1GM9WGp1pnPRP-eY77DBHssRJM7KuKMiWKa1OCtR5kXWwHC9ESx2wFXoT7TsWElK3gqICoDZjbvDjuf49wgJFALVaSIKIl8klnNozmltYKdV4qCpNFoJkU67cGTGVAkIQzxS9RuZJA-CWm-6QPWIpz8jxSx0yO6Gclkj2gLGQi_XNzzbw?key=8Q3cAqDSRXtEMNA9UUAf-A\" alt=\"Slow-roasted lamb shanks with tomato and olives | Recipe | Slow roast ...\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Cabernet Franc would pair well with <strong>Roasted Leg of Lamb<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Recipe for Roasted Leg of Lamb<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">135-150 degrees F for 2 hours (low and slow) for medium done\u2026or a little lower and longer for medium rare.&nbsp; Halfway through the cooking time, add a few fresh rosemary springs on top and cover with aluminum foil<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">4 pounds of Lamb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">2 Table spoons of Olive Oil<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">2 cans of Crushed Diced Tomatoes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">3 teaspoons of Pesto Sauce<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u00bc cup kalamata olives<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u00bc cup chopped mushrooms<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u00bc cup chopped sweet yellow peppers<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">A few dashes of Turmeric<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">2 1\/2 cups of red wine&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Serve on top of a bed of rice with fresh basil for garnish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cI cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food\u201d. &#8211; Julia Child<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">With regards to Turmeric, rarely does a recipe actually call for it.&nbsp; However, I\u2019ve been reading about the advantages to adding it to food.&nbsp; It can improve memory, heart health, joint mobility, digestive health and boosts immunities.&nbsp; It contains phytoestrogens.&nbsp; Women who are premenopausal (between 40-60 years old), who are experiencing a drop in estrogen, could be adding Turmeric to their diet to help balance out the hormones and hot flashes.&nbsp; Not that any woman on the planet needs this.&nbsp; We\u2019re perfect.&nbsp; It\u2019s the men who need improving. If they wouldn\u2019t irritate us, everything would be just fine.&nbsp; Those mythological Amazon women had it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Anyway, to sum up, I think Cabernet Franc would be ideal to grow in Ventura County.&nbsp; L.A. County might be a bit too hot for it.&nbsp; Ventura County is about 500-700\u2019 in elevation with about 11\u201d of annual rainfall.&nbsp; It has warm Mediterranean Climate with alluvial soils with a lot of sandy loam and clay.&nbsp; In the valleys, clay levels are high so they need to be brought down with gypsum, coffee grinds, compost, peat moss, and kelp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The biggest problem in SoCal is the water.&nbsp; The water and soil are high in pH and about 7.1 on average.&nbsp; The soils and water are heavily affected by the amount of wild fires that we\u2019ve had.&nbsp; With each fire it raises the amount of Phosphorous and the pH by a point.&nbsp; Fruiting plants and flowers typically enjoy 6.3-6.5 pH.&nbsp; Our California Oaks are dying because the soils are too high in pH.&nbsp; In order to lower the pH of the soil, the best bet is to add chicken manure.&nbsp; It takes several months to decompose and balance the soil, so you have to wait to plant until the pH is balanced, otherwise you risk burning the roots. &nbsp; Steer and horse manure take about a year to completely breakdown into the soil.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">On my granddaddy\u2019s farm, we had a few chicken coops.&nbsp; I swore on my life that I never wanted to raise chickens.&nbsp; Nowadays, a bag of chicken manure is $200.&nbsp; That\u2019s a pretty penny and doesn\u2019t get you very far.&nbsp; So it looks like&nbsp; I\u2019ll be raising chickens.&nbsp; I might just raise them during the dormant months and then sell them to hatcheries. &nbsp; Feeding and watering chickens aren\u2019t my idea of a great way to start the day.&nbsp; I can\u2019t start the day with things that smell.&nbsp; I much prefer to start the day with Mocha coffee and a Danish.&nbsp; Plus, I have an awful habit of naming things.&nbsp; Don\u2019t name your chickens.&nbsp; You could starve to death!&nbsp; You\u2019d have nothing to eat or drink but wine and vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Thanks for reading.&nbsp; Tomorrow is another day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warm Vs.
