Grilled Lamb “Steak” Hache with Ratatouille
On October 6th, it was great to visit the Red hook winery. The view was so beautiful, it is an ideal place to have wine tastings. The decor of the winery is very creative with wine barrels being the tables or holding up the glass tables. It was more impressive to see the washroom sink and counter made with a wine barrel. The Manager Christopher Nicolson was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the wines he made there, and I and my classmates had the pleasure to taste six of them, three whites and three reds. The two wines I would like the blend for my dish are Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The cabernet franc has wonderful acidity and balances in sweetness with a beautiful color. The Merlot has a great complexity that is not too bold and would go perfectly with the cabernet Franc. The two grapes blended together would create a slightly bold wine that would perfectly wash down a lamb dish such as mine.
