Bing Chicken Recipe

• Note: It is important to use red wine with good pigment, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or possibly Zinfandel (an especially good match with cherries), which will not turn gray or possibly pale as the sauce cooks. Added brightness comes during the deglazing from a splash of balsamic vinegar.
