This has to be the best hunk of roast lamb to come out of my oven. Juicy. The perfect level of pinkness in the centre. A most delicious taste. To accompany, a little salad and some chunky chips. For the wine though something classy, something a little special... Review0.3Wine Tasting Note: Fattoira le Sorgenti Scirus, 2003, Tuscany, ItalyStockist: Cadman Fine Wines [More on UKWOL] Price: £24.99 [More: Adegga / Snooth]Textured and smooth, wonderful richness but balanced. A flow of savoury edged fruit - hints of tomatoes laced with chocolate, raspberries, cherries and other fleshy fruits. Very 'Bordeaux' on the nose - hailing from the blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (mixed in a 60%/40% blend) thrown in a little oak. All rather scrummy, full and rich. Perhaps a tad young and missing a little development and complexity and also a tad short on the finish but highly drinkable. Accompanied that delicious lamb dish beautifully. Alcohol 14.5%.Andrew BarrowScribblings Rati

Don't get me wrong, I am not one of those A-B-C people. In fact, I am very fond of chardonnay.

Martha Hall Foose (author of Screen Doors and Sweet Tea) You can go to BaltimoreChefsandWine.org for the complete list of chefs. I'm personally looking forward to Benjamin Erjavec's presentation...
