Wines for Lamb

Although we often associate Spring with serving lamb, this richly flavored meat can certainly be enjoyed all year around. Few people know that lamb is actually the oldest domesticated meat having been first used in cooking nearly 9,000 years ago in the Middle East. In many countries today, lamb is still the major source of food eaten. The tremendous flavor offered by this meat, in addition to the nearly endless preparation options, makes it a versatile choice for our menus. Lamb's assertive flavor can stand up to a host of wines, and each recipe choice will offer new flavors to make the ultimate match.
