This recipe is another Carr favorite, created by us for you to try. And while this dish pairs equally well with our other Syrahs, it is the most tempting alongside our 2014 Carr Syrah from Tierra Alta Vineyard. For an added burst of flavor, roast some bacon with the brussel sprouts! (Bacon makes everything better, trust us.)
