Lamb with Rosemary Sauce HolidaysChristmasEntréeLamb “The sauce over the lamb and a glass of 2016 Wine Club Reserve are a perfect pairing to one another. The wine brings out the herbaceousness of the sauce while the sauce highlights the bold fruit notes of the Wine Club Reserve.” – Robynn Chapman, AVV Wine Club Assistant – Serves 4-6 – Ingredients: 4-6 lamb chops, or cut of your choice 1 ½ Tbsp. rosemary, finely chopped 1 Tbsp. thyme, finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, finely minced 1 small lemon, cut into wedges ¼ cup AVV Wine Club Reserve ½ Tbsp. butter Olive oil Salt and pepper to taste Method of Preparation: Drizzle olive oil in a large pan and place over medium-high heat.
