Lake County chef/caterer Mark Linback serves up this soul-satisfying dish to warm his guests on especially chilly evenings. He often presents it over creamy corn grits or garlic mashed potatoes. A lovely pairing with Six Sigma Tempranillo. ¡salud!

These lamb meatballs pair perfectly with Madroña’s 2010 Hillside Zinfandel. The young Zin is tamed immediately with the introduction of the Mediterranean spices, making the wine wonderfully soft and alluring. The hint of heat in the spices, is framed by the fresh fruit of the Zin.

Classic French preparation yields perfect lamb, tender and flavorfully crusted with mustard and herbs.

This recipe is a quick and easy  way to spice up lamb chops. The Greenwood Ridge Vineyards Merlot is a terrific pairing.
