Roast whole lamb and Cabernet night


This was the main attraction of one Peter's Wine Circle (PWC) dinner when we had a whole lamb roasted for the night. As Cabernet Sauvignon was the match for roast lamb, we only had wines made from that grape. A white Cabernet cannot be found to go with the appetizer, so a rose sample from Australia stood in for duty. We had 8 Cabernet reds to go with the lamb. What about dessert? You must have guessed by now, because I had already blogged about thisbotrytised Cabernet Sauvignon from Murfatlar.

But if it was not a PWC Cabernet night, what would you have matched it with? I used to drink Burgundy with it and I think I had also blogged about a certain Sunday lunch with roast lamb back in 1984, when I discovered the delights of Chateauneuf du Papes.
