Lamb has a rustic and powerful taste. It calls for spicy, tannic, and bolder wines to be able to sustain and complement its flavor.
Here are our suggestions:
- Any spicy and earthy Cotes du Rhone or a more powerful Grenache/Syrah blend as the Vacqueyras Domaine D'Ouria 2012 at $32.99.
- A more plummy and jammy Syrah from Australia: either the Boxer from Mollydooker at $27.99 or the Layer Cake Shiraz at $16.99 currently on sale at $12.99.
- A oaky and tannic Napa Cabernet Sauvignon: the Girard 2012 at $29.99 or the B-Side at $24.99 currently on sale at $19.99.
- A bold Malbec loaded with black fruit: the gorgeous Ben Marco Expressivo 2011 at $39.99 or the regular Ben Marco Malbec at $19.99 currently on sale at $15.99.
- A tannic and powerful Barolo: the Brovia Barolo 2010 at $54.99.
Pork due to his soft and light sweetness can be paired with some white and mid bodied red wines.

on sale at $18.99
