- ken_ang - 04-17-2004 Hi all, I'm new here and I am planning a simple dinner with my wife tomorrow. We're having grilled lamb chops and salad. What wine would you recommend? I only have Merlot now. What would be a good meal to go with that? Those are very basic questions I'm sure but I hope you'll be patient with me. Thanks. Ken - Innkeeper - 04-17-2004 Hi Ken_ang, and welcome to the Wine Board. If you can find a simple Cotes du Rhone, that would be ideal. Otherwise look for a first or second tier Australian Shiraz. Would have the merlot with a lighter meat such as ground beef or veal. - ken_ang - 04-17-2004 Hi Innkeeper, Thanks for the quick reply. Besides ground beef and veal, would a chicken meal suit the Merlot? My wife and I eat chicken a lot especially me. I love fried chicken. Ken - Innkeeper - 04-17-2004 It would go fine with sauteed chicken thighs. - Bucko - 04-17-2004 I'm with IK. We eat a lot of grilled lamb chops and we prefer Rhone wines. |
