Pairing Lamb with Wine
What can be more delicious than lamb chops with the right wine? If your butcher has
French cut lamb you may want to consider a French wine. Does this mean an English wine
with mutton? You will probably do better with a claret (the British term for Bordeaux).
But don't be surprised if England is producing some fine wines. However, you can skip
the mutton.
Choosing a Wine to Match Your Lamb Dish
Here are a few suggestions for pairing lamb with wine. These suggestions are only the
beginning. You may take into consideration the spicing, the accompaniments, and sauce,
if any. Enjoy!
| Lamb Dish |
Recommended Wines |
| Lamb Chops | Barolo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot |
| Lamb Kabobs (Shish Kabob) | Bourgueil, Chinon, Syrah |

The following table presents wine and food pairing information, sorted by wine, rather than by
lamb dish. When you click on any wine a new page pops up telling you what you need to know about that
wine. This short page makes specific purchase recommendations, usually in three price ranges.
