- CEO - 03-25-2002 What is the best wines to serve with Lamb Chops? (baked, & grilled) What is the best wines to serve with Crown Roast Rack of Lamb? Thanks and have a SUPER day! - Thomas - 03-25-2002 Last night I had a dinner of lamb chops--grilled--with a sauce of Madeira, soy and beef stock with shallots, garlic and rosemary. The lamb went well, as it often does, with a wine including syrah; the one I had was in fact a blend of syrah, grenache, cabernet sauvignon and merlot, and it was produced in Languedoc, Coteaux du Besille--quite a match. Most lamb dishes are fine with a peppery syrah (shiraz) from anywhere, or a Rhone or Spanish wine heavy in garnachia (grenache) or monastrell (mourvedre)--Carchello, from Jumilla, comes to mind, heavy in mourvedre.

If the sauce is sweet -- like a Port sauce or finished with Madeira -- then, yes, stick to a Syrah based wine (especially Shiraz from Australia) which has sweet, fragrant fruit tones in the aroma and flavor (although these reds are dry). - Innkeeper - 03-25-2002 If you need kosher wine, look for Baron Herzog. Don't know if he makes a syrah, but he does make a decent cabernet sauvignon, which is a much better alternative to Manischewitz. |
