What's the best type of wine when serving lamb?

Answer 1

red

Answer 2

Which wine to serve depends on a number of things:
1) The type of lamb dish you plan to serve. Moussaka ( http://www.stigmes.gr/br/brpages/articles/recipes/mousaka.htm ) a traditional lamb stew from Greece or Turkey is often served with a strong white wine to go with the spices. While the classic french rack of lamb ( http://frenchfood.about.com/od/porklambrecipes/r/llambcarprov.htm ) is usually served with a "spicy" red like a syrah or a merlot.
2) How much you want to spend. Even if your dish is "classic" and you decide to be traditional and serve a red, how much you plan to spend determines as much about the wine as the dish. You can serve a good-tasting wine like 2-buck chuck ( Charles Shaw's California Merlot $1.99 http://www.traderjoes.com/new/chuckshaw.asp ) Or you might be celebrating a special occasion and want to open one of the "great" Bordeaux Chateaus that are the traditionally paired with lamb in France, like Chateau Pavie (St. Emilion)
3) Finally, you have to follow your own tastes (or your guests) what do you like to drink? That is what always goes best with any dish. There are, however, plenty of online search engines that can help with food and wine pairings. Here is an easy one to use: http://www.wineanswers.com/food_list.asp
just select the type of lamb dish you plan to serve and it will make some wine suggestions for you. Bon appetite!
