Wine: 2004 Segal Cabernet Sauvignon Galilee Heights Special ReserveMeal: Roasted Lamb & potatoes, with Seder
This is an Israeli wine, and Kosher. The color is extremely dark purple, inky. The nose exhibits slight floral aromas, with fruity overtones and a little funk. It tastes delightful - earthy, just enough fruit, just enough tannin, really well balanced. If you've been afraid of Israeli wines, try this one. Amazing!
Special guest appearance by my cat, Truffles, who refused to get off the table when there was delicious lamb available.

Nice review. Curious if you had the bitter herbs during your Seder.
Also, have you yet done a Shepherd's pie recipe? Very simple, and ground lamb is the star of the show. A little bit cheaper than some other cuts of lamb.
Just a little.
You just picked this particular wine on your own? ;)
@Carolyn: yes. I had horseradish and romaine lettuce. Haven't done a shepherd's pie yet - I'll slot that in for an upcoming pairing :)
@Loweeel: I had some help from a special Jewish friend of mine who likes face-smashing tannins ;)
